Comfort Cases Inc.

INSPIRING COMMUNITIES TO BRING DIGNITY AND HOPE TO YOUTH IN FOSTER CARE.

Comfort Cases(R) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides children, ages infant -21, who are entering the foster care system with a bag filled with essential needs as well as comfort items. We also provide agencies with large duffel bags that can be used instead of trash bags at the time of removal.  #nomoretrashbags 

On any given day, there are nearly 440,000 youth in the foster care system in the United States.  Of the thousands of youth who enter the system each year, most arrive carrying little more than the clothes on their backs. If they are afforded the opportunity to collect any personal belongings, many are then given a trash bag in which to place and carry their personal items.  It is a time of great upheaval and instability, and their first foster home placement is unlikely to be their last. Many youth in foster care will be moved from home to home multiple times, carrying their life’s treasures in a trash bag. At Comfort Cases, we believe that every child deserves to feel a sense of dignity. Every child deserves to pack their belongings in a special bag that they can call their own. It is our mission as a charity to provide a proper bag filled with comfort and essential items to these brave youth in foster care on their journey to find their forever home.
