FIRST FAMILY KOMFORT BACKBACKS SERVICE PROJECT
Your gifts, both large and small, will help us provide Komfort Backpacks for children who are in or leaving Foster care
When a Foster Child is pulled from one home and placed in another, often without warning, all they are typically able to take them are the clothes on their back. A Komfort bag can offer them a sense of owenership.
Kiwanis Komfort Backpacks for Foster Children
Our Focus is children over the age of 12. Our backpacks will be given to a child when being placed in a foster home. The backpack will have a few essential to help them feel comfort in their new environment.
