This project was inspired by the growing need of the children of our community who are misplaced due to poor choices of their parents. Child Protective Services removes many children each year who are victims of abuse and neglect by their parents or caregivers. When children are removed from their home most end up with nothing of their own. They lose their toys and clothes, their home, and their parents. Although we cannot replace all they lost, we can help make their lives a little brighter. Bags of Love help provide items for the immediate needs of these children. Our handmade quilt, duffel bag and contents are often the only item they possess. All children who are removed from their homes are victims. Bags of Love provides one small way to help ease the pain and let them know that they are loved. With your help and the help of our community, we can provide a “bag of love” to each child. www.facebook.com/BAGS-OF-LOVE-271627749598/
