The Voices for Children Foundation provides Buddy Bags for children in foster care who are often moved abruptly with very few belongings. Our goal is to provide them with a duffel bag or backpack with personal items that are both necessary and comforting. We would like to use only new items, although duffle bags can be “like new.” We can always use the following:
- Duffle Bags / Small Suitcases
- Backpacks
- Diapers / Pull-Ups
- Soft Blankets
- Baby Wash / Soap / Lotion
- Baby Powder
- Diaper Rash Cream
- Bottles
- Binkies / Nuk’s
- Small Soft Rattles
- Combs / Brushes
- Hair Clips / Barrettes
- Ponytail Bands
- Soap
- No Tears Shampoo
- Shampoo/Conditioner (small bottles)
- Hair Products (Mousse / Gel)
- Ziploc Bags (to store toiletries)
- Toothbrush / Toothpaste
- T-shirts (All sizes, Plain)
- Socks (All Sizes)
- Underwear (All Sizes)
- Books (Baby to Young Adult)
- Journals
- Alarm Clocks
- Flashlights (with batteries)
- Nightlights
- Deodorant
- Feminine Products
- Soft Pillow (Travel Size)
- Soft Pillowcases
- Wash cloths
If you would like to donate any of these items individually, or if you would like to help us by asking your church or organization to get involved, please contact:
