Hope in a Suitcase is a volunteer-driven, nonprofit group benefiting foster children.  Our mission is simple.  We provide children and teens in foster care with a suitcase, along with basic essentials and comfort items, to make their transition into the foster care system and their circumstances just little bit easier and more dignified.

About

No child should have to carry his or her belongings in a trash bag. A personalized suitcase or duffel bag, along with basic essentials and comfort items, sends children entering foster care a message that they are important and cared for by our community.
