Mendocino Public Safety Foundation Presents “Caring Bags” to Local Law Enforcement.

During crisis situations, children may require comfort and support. First responders sometimes
provide assistance to children under these circumstances. Although officers receive training for
such scenarios, their resources can be limited. In collaboration with law enforcement personnel,
The Caring Bags project was developed.

Caring Bags are small, portable bags containing basic comfort items such as blankets, diapers,
wipes, small toys, and baby bottles. These bags have been placed in Mendocino Sheriff, City of Ukiah Police Department, City of Fort Bragg Police Dept and Willits Police Department vehicles to assist officers in supporting children during critical incidents.

The funding and materials for these bags were provided by Mendocino Public Safety Foundation. The bags were assembled by Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts at Slam Dunk Pizza and then distributed to local law enforcement agencies. Bags contain: various sized diapers, individual wipes, small toys, small stuffed animals, baby toys, baby bottles and fleece blankets. After use, the bags will be restocked as needed.

Ross Liberty, President of the Foundation, stated that the program benefits children in need, improves community engagement with law enforcement, and encourages youth participation in community service.

Donations of similar items or monetary donations to the Caring Bag program can be made via the Mendocino Public Safety Foundation website (protectmendocino.org) or by dropping off items at Factory Pipe (1307 Masonite Road, Ukiah) or DFM Auto Repair (575 S State Street, Ukiah).

Mendocino Public Safety Foundation continues to work with local organizations on initiatives supporting public safety and encourages those interested to learn more at protectmendocino.org.
