Pockets of Hope provides children, teenagers, and young adults (ages birth-21) with comfort items they can call their own. These are everyday items that many of us take for granted, such as socks, a brush, a blanket, and more. For the recipients, these are more than a backpack; they represent hope and comfort that there are people who care. Whether received when going to a new foster home in the midst of the night or after an incident that has brought them to the CAC (Central Minnesota Child Advocacy Center), they provide each recipient a light of hope that there is good out there. “3/17: One of my favorite work memories is giving an older youth a backpack from Pockets of Hope. This specific youth told me that it was the first time in a really long time that he felt anyone cared about him (& a simple backpack with a few goodies gave him that message!) I love organizations that make a difference. If you have ever thought about children/youth in the foster care system, this is an amazing way to give them some comfort and hope!” (The Impact, www.pocketsofhope.org/the-impact.html).
About Pockets of Hope
Every day, children are rescued from abuse, neglect, and abandonment. These children are confused, scared, and desperate for security and comfort after being separated from family, home, and possessions. Children often 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. Our mission is to give foster children a sense of worth, bring comfort and provide a light of hope for a brighter future, one backpack at a time. Pockets of Hope is a non-profit organization located in Sartell, MN, serving those wherever they are able to help, in and around Stearns and Todd County and throughout Central Minnesota.
