Our local foster care have called us to action. Apparently, there's a major shortage of luggage for their foster children, and these kids are forced to put all their belongings in trash bags. A worker posted about it on social media, begging people to donate anything they could. Then the news picked up on it. Here's the article containing the full Facebook post:

It's garage sale season. It shouldn't be hard to find luggage and duffel bags for cheaper than brand new. I've made it my personal goal to donate 30. However, if I find awesome deals on them, I may be able to get even more!!!
Feel free to donate if you can (here or via Amazon giftcards or Giftrocket), and if you can't, please spread the word!
This story is so sad, and yet totally believable. We have to help our youth feel loved so they can love themselves.
