When authorities pull a child from an unsafe home to bring them into the protective custody of foster care, many times the child brings with him/her only the clothes on his/her back. Case workers that are fortunate to have time to gather the child's clothing, stuff the most convenient suitcase available – a black trash bag!

The child's world has been turned upside down and they drag around what they have left in a GARBAGE BAG, most likely a visual expression of exactly how they feel about themselves.

We can extend our love to a foster child by giving them a handmade tote bag with Christian resources, and/or minister to foster parents who can give the totes to foster children.

We are asking that you donate financially to pay for the cost of ministry resources to give out with the totes:

a Bible story booklet

and "The Story of Jesus for Children," (click for video clip).

Also, a stuffed doll, handmade by a missions group in Florida, has been made an available resource to us as long as they have them in stock.

The tote bags are hand sewn by women all across Canada and the USA donating their time and materials to sew them. Brighten any child's heart while sharing culturally relevant resources that teach the hope that only comes by knowing Jesus personally.

Here's How You Can Help By
(Volunteering or Donating):
Make tote bags for foster care child placement, or donate any amount financially for ministry materials to put in them (DVD's and the booklets cost about $10.00).
