    The End of the Trash Bag

    This grant will enable our mission to bring dignity and hope to 1,200 youth in foster care by partnering with all social service agencies within LA County to place orders for Comfort Cases through this special program. It will also advance Comfort Cases' advocacy for systemic change and awareness, ensuring every child feels valued. And, finally, it would set aside one $5,000 Hope Scholarship for a youth in foster care who is eligible for and seeking the opportunity to receive college or vocational school education.
