Xander O’Brien has not only been learning how to play hockey, but also taken his skills to the next level when it comes to collecting cereal boxes. Last year, the 8-year-old Rostraver Elementary School student raked in over 100 cereal boxes to feed kids in need, in part through The

Ten years. Last week, you all helped us remember and celebrate a whole decade of memories, milestones, and moments we couldn’t have achieved alone.
You are the backbone of everything we’ve accomplished and your support has been the heart of our journey from day one. Your time, energy, and passion have made a lasting impact that words can’t fully capture.
This milestone belongs to all of you. 💙Here’s to the past 10 years—and to everything we’ll continue to build together as

To everyone who has been part of The Bag Brigade journey over the last 10 years: thank you. This community is what makes The Bag Brigade so very special and the reason we look forward to what tomorrow, and the next 10 years, has in store. Because of your impact, lives have been changed, opportunities have grown, and hope has continued to show up in the most unexpected places.
It has been 10 incredible years. Here’s to many more together. 💙

“The influence of a good teacher can never be erased.” So true! And while we can’t take credit for this quote, we believe it to our core!
Over the last 10 years, educators at BVA have been a constant and positive INFLUENCE to how The Bag Brigade has been able to impact kids throughout the district.
We feel your support, day in and day out — thank you. 💙
The kids feel your support too. And while they might not speak up & say thanks, know they see your time spent, your energy provided, and your hearts, not only in the classroom making a difference every single day, but in the broader community. The future is brighter, not only because of how you show up for The Bag Brigade kids, but because of how you influence each student you come in contact with.

It truly takes a community to make The Bag Brigade possible. 💙
As we celebrate 10 years of helping kids, we’re shining a light on some of the incredible businesses and organizations that help fuel this mission:
Mon Valley Alliance, Guttman Energy, Vinoski, cfs bank, Mon Valley Independent, Bee Graphix, Mon Valley Chamber of Commerce, and First Christian Church of Fayette City.
Through generous donations, partnerships, and support, these organizations (...and so many others) help us keep food on the shelves and bags in the hands of kids who need them most.
Behind every check, every logo, and every act of support is a group of people who believe in the same thing we do: no kid should worry about having enough to eat during the weekend.
10 years. Thousands of food bags. One incredible community standing behind our mission.
The kids need us… can you help? 💙
