Everyday children are rescued from abuse, neglect, and abandonment. These children are confused, scared, and desperate for security, comfort after being separated from family, home and possessions. Children frequently enter foster care with nothing.

Pockets of Hope provides these children with new backpacks filled with personal care items they need, and comfort items they can call their own.
