For 16 years, Bags of Love has supported children of Lane County suffering from abuse, neglect, poverty, homelessness, or disaster.

A Bag of Love provides every child we connect with the essentials: clothing, toiletries, toys, books, school supplies, and a handmade quilt or fleece blanket. For a child in crisis, a Bag of Love delivers support and comfort at the time he or she is most vulnerable.

In 2008, our founding year, we distributed 25 Bags of Love to children in need. By the end of 2023, that number had increased to almost 5,000. Since our inception, more than 33,000 local kids have received a Bag of Love.
