Support children in foster care and Gift a Thrive Bag!

Thrive Bags are fully customizable bags that we provide to children when they enter the foster care system. Thrive Bags contain 2-days worth of new, brand-name essential items like shirts, pants, a sweatshirt, a new pair of shoes, hygiene products, and a new backpack or duffle bag. Our hope is that our Thrive Bags provide our children with a sense of comfort and confidence when transitioning into their new environments.

This is a great way to give back during the holidays. We invite individuals and companies to join and Gift a Thrive Bag!

There are two options to Gift a Thrive Bag:

1. Pick a Tag and fill a Thrive Bag! All tags are curated for children aged 2 - 18 and the requested average sizes.

   • Check out the form and choose a tag (or tags!)

   • Gift a Thrive Bag - https://forms.gle/whUrsU65ngNNmKg8A

   • After the form is complete and you choose your tag, it is time to go shopping!
