🧡 Quarterly Journey Bag Drive | Q1 2026 🎒
Because no child’s journey should begin with a trash bag.
In our support area, 9 youth are scheduled to age out of foster care this quarter. That means 9 young people stepping into adulthood—often without family support—on their own.
A Journey Bag replaces a moment of uncertainty with dignity, care, and stability.
Each Journey Bag is a durable backpack thoughtfully packed with essentials to support youth transitioning out of foster care and into independent living. These bags help to:
✔️ Replace trash bags with dignity
✔️ Provide immediate comfort and stability
✔️ Support school and daily routines
✔️ Remind youth they are seen and valued
🎯 Our Q1 2026 Goal: 9 Journey Bags for 9 youth
• Donate items through our Amazon Wishlist
• OR sponsor one complete Journey Bag for $150

This is not a general drive—these bags are already spoken for.
This initiative is led by Helping You Grow Successfully (HUGS), Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, in support of the Maryland DHS Ready by 21 Program, helping foster youth transition to adulthood with stability and support.
