Comfort Cases® are backpacks filled with brand new items including pajamas, socks, a blanket, a stuffed animal, a hygiene kit, a dental kit, and other age-appropriate supplies. Each Comfort Case is meant to provide comfort and the essentials for a child’s first night in foster care. For more specific information about the contents of Comfort Cases® for infants, children, and teens, please visit our What’s a Comfort Case page. Each agency may order up to 50 Comfort Cases® each month. Local agencies can order up to 100 Comfort Cases®, and the order can be picked up by the agency or delivered by a volunteer driver.
We also offer Comfort XL duffel bags, which truly replace the need for trash bags for children entering foster care. The Comfort XL is a 32-inch duffel bag that folds up to easily fit on an office shelf, in a desk drawer, or in the trunk of a car.
Our goal is for every social worker and police officer in the country to have a supply of Comfort XL duffel bags to give to children when they are removed from their homes. A trash bag should never be a child’s suitcase. Each agency can order them as part of their Comfort Cases® order.
