✨ Something as simple as a suitcase can change a girl’s story.

Many foster and adopted girls move from place to place with their belongings in trash bags.
We are changing that.

Join us for our Luggage of Hope Donation Drive and help give dignity, confidence, and a sense of ownership to girls who deserve so much more.

🗓 Saturday, May 16
⏰ 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
📍 Vicki Paddock Park
235 O’Plaine Rd, Gurnee, IL

We are accepting new and gently used luggage.

Every donation matters. Every suitcase tells a girl… you are seen, you matter, you belong.

💖 Support foster and adopted girls in our community
✔️ Donations are tax deductible

Let’s show up with love in action.

We packed more than a car today.

We packed care, intention, and a message that says you are not forgotten.

Grit, Grace & Glow delivered 10 pieces of luggage to Little City, and every single one represents a girl who deserves to move through life with dignity, not struggle.

No more last minute bags.
No more feeling like an afterthought.

Just something of her own. Something she can carry with pride.

This is how we show up.
Quiet work. Real impact.

If you’ve been looking for a way to give that actually reaches a girl directly, this is it.

Visit www.gritgraceandglow.org
Show her she matters.

Let’s help her rise. Let’s help her glow. 💜
