Lia's Project - Delivering Dignity

My Gold award helps and delivers dignity to children entering the foster care system by eliminating the trash bag that children often use as their duffel bag when entering the foster care system. I will do this by gathering and assembling 50 bags full of essentials and a comfort item. These bags will be distributed to police and social workers to give to children entering the system. I will also educate my community including students in my school, local scout troops, and my church youth group, as well as my own town by making them aware of the need of these children to receive dignity and to feel like they matter.
