Today, after the community yard sale, if you have any leftovers, suitcases, duffel bags, totes, backpacks, or any kind of bag you'dl like to donate, we would be happy to pick them up!

Just send us a PM with the address, and we will swing by to collect them.

We are so grateful for our amazing community and the continued love and support you pour into the children in the foster system. ❤️

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Today, we delivered 37 suitcases, duffles, totes, and bags to More Than A Bed, thanks to your incredible generosity! 🧳💖

We are so grateful for the support from the residents of Sahuarita and Green Valley, you make what we do possible. Every bag you donated helps bring comfort and hope to children in foster care, and we couldn’t do it without you.

Thank you for being such an amazing community! 💛

This is exactly why we love what we do. ❤️
Seeing our community come together to meet a need, especially in a moment like this, fills our hearts to the brim. Knowing that Carrying Hope was able to play a small part in helping a child head to Alaska with dignity, warmth, and a brand new suitcase reminds us that service truly matters.

This is community at its very best... people showing up, sharing what they have, and making sure no child feels forgotten. We are so grateful to More Than A Bed, Intermountain Centers, and everyone who supports these efforts. Moments like this are the reason we keep going. 💛

Kids are hard on their clothes! We’re running low especially on: BOYS PANTS, sizes 5T, 6x, 7/8, 10, 12, and 14+.

We could also use winter clothing in the following sizes:
Girls 24M, Girls 3T, and Girls 12 years old, and Boys 24M, Boys 16, and Boys 18.

If your kids have grown out of their clothes in the above sizes, we’ll gladly take them. Thank you! ❤️😊

🌟 Thank You, Community! 🌟

We want to give a huge thank you to everyone who donated new and gently used suitcases, totes, and duffel bags to Carrying Hope! Your generosity is helping foster children have something special to call their own as they transition between homes. 💙

A big shoutout as well to the kind neighbors who dropped their prices at the yard sales so we could purchase even more bags at a discount, your kindness truly multiplies the impact!

We dropped off a load of 41 bags today to More Than A Bed, but we’re happy to keep it going! If you still have suitcases, backpacks, or bags you’d like to donate, just send us a message, we’d be glad to stop by and pick them up.

Together, we’re making a difference, one suitcase at a time. 🧳✨
