  • Welcoming a new baby or recovering from illness is always easier with a meal or a sweet treat from others. Foster families experience the same joy when they receive these acts of kindness, whether they’re welcoming a newborn or a teen.

    As a community, we can support foster families by dropping off a meal, gift card, or ordering pizza delivery. It’s a simple way to say, “You’ve got this!”

    If you'd like to help, click the "Connect with us" button and we'll work with you to set something up. Your generosity will be a huge blessing!

  • Hope Pkgs is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 81-1218505) dedicated to supporting foster children during their transition into foster care. We are based in Holland, MI. As a tax-exempt, charitable organization, all donations made to Hope Pkgs are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. If you would like a gift receipt for your contribution of items to Build a Bag, we would be happy to provide one.

  • The Hope Pkgs Amazon Wish list is a great way to support the mission. Items are shipped directly to our packing space. You don't have to worry about dropping items off.
