Duffle Bags and More, Inc.

Duffle Bags and More, Inc. We support children in foster care by making and providing new duffle & toiletry bags allows us to broaden our array of services.

Duffle Bags and More Inc., previously known as the Lower Delaware Duffle Bag Project, will continue supporting children in foster care by making and providing a new duffle bag, toiletries bag and stuffed toy for each child. The bags are given to children by caseworkers of the Delaware Division of Family Services during the removal process. To raise funds to continue the project, volunteers make ut

ility bags to sell. It’s terribly sad to think of children being taken from their homes, often due to a situation they can’t control or even understand. But it is even sadder when one realizes they are asked to pack their belongings into a black plastic garbage bag. It’s easy to imagine that children begin to lose their dignity and begin to feel unimportant. Yet this is the reality for some children today, without the efforts of Duffle Bags and More Inc. Debbie Fratella, board president, said, “While children in the foster care system remain our first priority, the creation of Duffle Bags and More Inc. We now have the opportunity to assist other clients, such as graduates from drug rehabilitation programs, victims of domestic abuse, and the homeless." If you have questions or would like more information, please contact Debbie Fratella by emailing [email protected].
