God put it on our hearts to create this ministry in order to reach children who are entering the foster system These children are in need of love, hope, and purpose. We create these bags and give these bibles because we believe in doing so we are providing a guide to the One who offers all these things. Each bag has its opening flap embroidered with Joshua 1:9 and includes a tabbed, kid friendly bible.
No one should have to travel with their belongings in a trash bag. Our mission is two fold. First, we aim to provide what little dignity we can by supplying foster children with new and durable 22″ duffle bags. Our second mission is to provide a message of hope that will help the children endure what is likely to be the darkest chapter of their life. On every bag we embroider the verse, Joshua 1:9. We also included a colorfully tabbed Bible for each child, if they would like, in the hopes that the children will draw near to the One who can give them the love and hope that they seek.
Our goal is to reach every foster child possible and supply them with a uniquely embroidered duffle bag that reminds them that they are never alone and never forgotten. To meet this goal, we look to partner with fellow organizations to expand our outreach both stateside and internationally. We partner with numerous types of organizations to supply fostered children and those in need. Â
We are always open and looking to partner with organizations that are dedicated to showing support and love to those in need.
If you are looking to involve yourself in a worthy cause, please consider ours! The Duffle Bag Project (DBP) has provided embroidered bags and tabbed Bibles to children throughout the United States, Uganda, and Pakistan. Our nonprofit has no borders. We aim provide what dignity and hope we can worldwide.
Duffle Bag Project not only touches a physical need of a foster child but also a heart need. I believe our mission can be a tiny light in a foster child’s life, and that is why I am part of the DBP movement.
I am humbled and honored to be a part of this ministry. I joined Duffle Bag Project to share the Gospel with children going through incredibly trying times. I love that we are able to do so while also filling a very practical need for these kids.
I knew we could not foster in our own home at the time, but most certainly could assist in a different practical way. Helping children have something they can call their very own is so important. I am thrilled to be on the board on such a worthwhile project!
The first time I heard about DBP I knew I had to help. I shared with my husband and he agreed and we became monthly donors. I am so thankful to be a part of such a great organization working on behalf of children. I feel The Lord lead me here.
I am part of the Duffle Bag Project because I want to give a sense of dignity to children on one of the worst days of their life… removal day. I pray that when they receive our bag they feel loved and special.
Â
I chose to be a part of Duffle Bag Project because there was a need and I was available to fill that need. I trained to embroider duffle bags which enjoy doing because I know that the children who are receiving these bags will be blessed by them.
Without our volunteers we would not be where we are today. Through countless hours and effort we have been able to bring the impactful love of God to children by providing hundreds of embroidered bags and tabbed Bibles!
Although our ministry is primarily focused on reaching foster children, we have also been blessed to gift other individuals in need. With donations of clothing and toys we have been able to gift single mother’s in need, and refugees.
