SHOW LOVE BY GIVING AN INTAKE BAG
Intake bags are a way for children to have something to call their own after being removed from their home and moved to a new place. It can be a difficult transition for a child and these are a great way to help soothe their fears and anxieties.
We request placing all the items in a new backpack or a new duffle bag. Below are suggestions for each bag. Items should be new, in original packaging and unwrapped.
Please call us at (325)437-1852 with any questions!
