Trash Bag Handbag

When a child is removed from the home in police protective custody (and often in subsequent moves within the system) their belongings are put in trash sacks. We will be raising money for duffel bags and essential items such as clothing, journals, and comfort items. These bags will be distributed to local agencies and hospitals through ICT SOS. Funds will be collected through a landing page at jlwichita.org. Support as well as cash / checks (made out to Junior League of Wichita) to Headquarters and via Campaign Ambassadors. Each bag typically contains between $75-100 worth of goods (Bag, clothing, comfort items, hygiene items, gift card).
