BRAVE BAGS

Most foster children arrive to their new home with either a trash bag filled with their personal belongings or nothing at all. The Wild & Whimsy Foundation provides Brave Bags filled with the basic necessities needed for a child/youth being newly placed in foster care. Along with toiletries is a snack, a journal, art supplies and a BRAVE bear. Intended to restore dignity and provide a little bit of comfort during such a difficult time, these bags are donated to local foster family agencies for social workers to gift to the children when making placements in a new home. In May of 2023 our Brave Bag Initiative expanded by providing 150 children attending Royal Family Kids camp with a Welcome to Camp Bag!
