When Disaster Strikes, We Show Up Together
When a natural disaster impacts a community, children in the foster care system are among the most vulnerable. Comfort Cases exists to eliminate the practice of youth in foster care packing their belongings in trash bags by providing them with new, high-quality backpacks and duffel bags filled with hygiene essentials and comfort items. Through our partnership with Project:Camp, partner organizations can order Comfort Cases® and Comfort XL duffel bags to directly serve and comfort foster children in disaster-impacted areas.
Project:Camp responds within 48 hours of a disaster, popping up free, trauma-informed day camps to give children structure, normalcy, and social-emotional support while their families and communities begin to recover. In five years, Project:Camp has provided nearly 50,000 hours of free programming for kids impacted by disasters across the United States, from the LA wildfires to Hurricane Helene to Hurricane Ian.
Comfort Cases ensures that every child in those communities has the essential and comfort items they need to feel seen, supported, and cared for – a backpack filled with more than supplies. A message that says: you matter, and someone showed up for you.
Together, we are making sure that when disaster strikes, no child faces it without support!
What We Provide
Through this partnership, Comfort Cases will provide the following to children served through activated Project:Camp locations:
🎒 Comfort Cases® – backpacks filled with essential and comfort items for children entering or experiencing disruption in their care
👜 Comfort XL Duffel Bags – a 32-inch duffel that folds up to hold whatever a youth needs to carry their belongings
All cases and duffels are provided at no cost to the families and communities served.
