The Kids

Kids enter foster care at all ages and all times of day and night. Some are newborns straight from the hospital, and some are 18 years old trying to finish high school. These children have often experienced much brokenness, living with addicts, neglect and abuse. Children who find themselves being removed from their homes by no fault of their own are in dire need of both physical and emotional help during this crisis. Regardless of age, the first night away from home is the hardest.

Project Geaux Bags

The goal of Project Geaux Bags is to change the way kids enter foster care, and to make that first night in foster care a little bit easier for everyone.

Children come into foster care in all ages and sizes and all hours of the day and night. And they usually come with only the clothes on their back.

A Geaux Bag helps both child and foster parent during the emergency transition. Geaux Bags are filled with essential clothing, toiletries, and a comfort item to make that first night easier for everyone.

Major funding for Project Geaux Bags provided by
LOUISIANA COMMISSION ON LAW ENFORCEMENT
