#Happy Acts Foster Kids Care Bags

When children are removed from their biological parent’s home and care by Children’s Protective Services or the Police due to child abuse or neglect, they generally do not have time to pack their clothing and favorite toys and belongings. It is a very traumatic time for the children, who range in age from newborn infants to youth under 18 years of age.
Our goal is to make this transition from their family to a foster family as supportive as possible by supplying them with a care bag this Holiday season.
We are supporting DA Blodgett here in Grand Rapids, Michigan this month in donations and packing care bags for these kids.
They will get a backpack filled with clothes, personal care items, books, toys and a card that is theirs to keep and take with them.
These are going to be benefiting all local kids in need.  We are focusing on the largest need age group 6-10 years old.
Several donation types are needed.

Donations Needed:

~Businesses that have samples they could donate, i.e. soap, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.
~Business donations for prize drawings
~Business and Individuals to donate items for the care bags
~Business and Individuals to donate money for us to shop for items to go into the care bags
~Donations for printing costs of flyers and posters ~Individuals to come to the event as volunteers.
