Packs for a Purpose

We provide care packs for children in foster and kinship care.

When children must leave their homes through the Division of Children and Family Services (AR) or Child Protective Services (TX), they often have only a trash bag in which to gather their belongings. We adopted Packs for a Purpose in 2018 to meet the needs of these children. Our packs contain living essentials, school supplies, and comfort items which assist in maintaining the dignity of children.

Packs for a Purpose was adopted as a League project in 2018 to meet the needs of children who must leave their homes through the Division of Children and Family Services (AR) or Child Protective Services (TX). These children often have only a trash bag in which to gather their belongings. Our backpacks contain living essentials, school supplies, and comfort items which assist in maintaining the dignity of children.
