Bags of Hope - Stockton Foundation

Good Morning Family Today was ministry beyond the walls.

My son and I hit the streets, serving our unhoused community with menstrual hygiene survival kits—because dignity matters, and compassion is not optional.

Every bag we gave wasn’t just supplies… it was love, it was care, it was “I see you.”

This is what Bags of Hope is all about—meeting real needs, in real time, with real impact.

And to do it alongside my son? Whew… that’s legacy. That’s generational compassion being poured out.

Now I’m about to take a quick nap and get ready for baptism in the park—because when you pour out, God will always refill.

“Whatever you did for one of the least of these… you did for Me.” – Matthew 25:40

Thank You for Supporting Bags of Hope Foundation

Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out asking how you can support our upcoming Bags of Hope Distribution. Your kindness, generosity, and patience truly mean so much to us.

We are preparing supplies to bless individuals in our community with essential hygiene items, and many of you have asked for the list of items we still need. For those who would like to help, we have created an Amazon wish list where supplies can be purchased and sent directly for the distribution.

You can view the list here:

Thank you again for your patience while we finalized the list and for standing with us as we continue this important work. Every item donated helps us provide dignity, care, and hope to someone who needs it.

With gratitude,
Apostle Coleen S. Ray

Family… I’m excited to finally share this.

Bags of Hope Foundation is back.

I founded Bags of Hope in 2017 right in Stockton CA, with a simple mission: to provide hygiene supplies, menstrual health education and essential resources to any person that menstruates.

Over the years we distributed thousands of Bags of Hope, and I want to pause and say THANK YOU to every volunteer, every supporter, every donor, and every person who believed in this mission from the beginning.

You helped make it possible.

After experiencing some deep personal losses, I took a step back for a season to focus on ministry, heal, and simply rest.

But I’m grateful to say today…
I’m strong, I’m healthy, and the mission continues.

So we are officially announcing the Soft Re-Launch of Bags of Hope Foundation, now operating as an outreach initiative of The Ruach Center: A Kingdom Fellowship.

Our first goal?
To distribute 200 hygiene kits to women and families in our community.

Because something as simple as access to hygiene products can restore hope and dignity.

And this… not us starting over, we are picking up where we left off- Stronger & Better.
