Hugs & Bags

Backpacks and school supplies aren’t just about academics—they can say a lot about a student’s mental health.

Heavy loads, both physical and emotional, can weigh kids down in more ways than one.

This Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, let’s remember that showing up prepared isn’t just about notebooks and pens. It’s about checking in, offering support, and creating school environments where every student feels seen and safe.

A lighter backpack might help their posture—but a stronger support system helps their mind.

There was a time when I experienced food insecurity. I didn’t know how or why but I knew it wasn’t a good safe feeling.

I promised myself that when I grew up (I had the resources) I would help give as many people access to food.

My nonprofit hasn’t received funding in years but the miracle is, It continues to feed over 100 people every week and I’m forever GRATEFUL.

Thank you YOHED ☕️ for opening your door to host our weekly meal distribution 🙏🏽

Thank you to all who keep supporting and donating. EVERY DONATION COUNTS!

No student should ever have to choose between their education and their next meal.

🍽️📚
When we pool our resources, passion, and purpose, we create real, lasting impact.

Ending food insecurity isn’t just about providing meals—it’s about restoring dignity, fueling potential, and ensuring every single student has the opportunity to thrive.

A massive thank you to Reel Teens Hugs & Bags, A ❤️ Movement Jacqueline Penhos for showing us what true community collaboration looks like in action. 🤝✨

Together, we are stronger, and together, we can ensure no student gets left behind.
Let’s keep building, serving, and showing up for one another. 💙
