Duffel Bag Project

We believe trash bags should not be considered suitcases. Since 2014 we've distributed over 4700 custom embroidered duffel bags to children throughout the St.
Louis Metro area in care.
With Foster the Family Blog – we were just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉
A meaningful part of the adoption community is how someone who’s been there can make a newcomer feel less alone. You did that for us.
More than 21 years ago, while you were finalizing your family’s adoption and we were just beginning ours, you went out of your way to introduce yourself. You shared your wisdom, welcomed us in, and helped ease the nerves of a family just starting the process. I’m so thankful you did - and grateful for the friendship that grew from that moment.
Today, you’re still showing up for children and families. Through your donations this year, 20 children experiencing foster care will receive a duffel bag of their very own. ❤️
You know who you are. Your generous heart is appreciated more than you know.

Curious about who we serve? We provide duffel bags to children experiencing foster care across these six counties. And we’re just 50 bags away from reaching our goal of 350 this year! 💙

✨ Tomorrow, “L” turns 18. ✨
More than a decade ago, we had the privilege of fostering this beautiful girl. In honor of her birthday, we’re donating a personalized duffel bag—and invite you to celebrate her by doing the same.
For $20, you can give a child experiencing foster care an embroidered bag of their very own—something that carries their name and reminds them they are seen, valued and loved.
Donate in honor of L at duffelbagproject.com. ❤️
P.S. L, if you ever read this: We love you. We hope you and your siblings have had beautiful lives filled with love. We have never stopped thinking about you—and we still hope to give you that big hug someday. Happy 18th birthday, kiddo. Always and forever.
Can we get 61 bags in 7 days to hit our goal?

❤️ 48 BAGS. 8 DAYS. 48 CHILDREN WHO DESERVE SOMETHING OF THEIR OWN.
Children experiencing foster care may have little time to pack—and sometimes their belongings are carried in a trash bag.
They deserve better.
A personalized duffel bag may seem like a small thing, but during a time filled with uncertainty, having something made especially for THEM can mean so much. 🧳❤️
We’ve already reached Goal #1 — 200 bags! Now we need 48 more bags in the next 8 days to reach Goal #2: 250 bags by September 15.
💙 $20 sponsors one personalized duffel bag.
48 bags means 48 children experiencing foster care will receive something made just for them—something they can truly call their own.
Will you help us reach 48?
Sponsor one bag. Share this post. Help us remind children experiencing foster care:
You matter. You are seen. And this is yours. ❤️
