The Problem Every day, in child welfare offices across America, girls and boys living in foster care wait to find out where they will go next. Their belongings sit next to them on the floor… in garbage bags. Our Solution Help restore their hope and dignity! Provide children and youth with a brand new suitcase or duffle bag to replace their garbage bags. Send them a message:
The Suitcase Challenge is a great opportunity to do something important for youngsters who need us. It’s an easy way you can help! simply an individual who wants to make a real difference.
About the Suitcase Project
The Suitcase Project Challenge is an initiative of Re-Envisioning Foster Care in America (REFCA), designed to give people of all ages and backgrounds a way to help children and youth in their community – from infants to teens and young adults – who, through no fault of their own, are living in foster care.
Please Join Us!
This is a simple, inexpensive way to invest in the hopes, dreams and futures of our nation’s most vulnerable children and youth.
Donate NEW suitcases at the Athletic Office, donations can be made for NHS to purchase suitcases. Think about chipping in with your friends to buy a suitcase.
