“Helping children in crisis one Bag of Love at a time”
Bags of Love has been serving the community since 2008.
Bags Of Love
The sole purpose of Bags of Love is to provide necessities and comfort items to children who are in crisis due to neglect, abuse, poverty or homelessness.
Through our unique distribution model, we address the immediate needs of these children and help support the community agencies caring for them.
