Our Story

Comfort Bags for Kids began in 2016 when our founder, DeVonna, saw children entering foster care and shelters with nothing but fear and uncertainty. She knew God was calling her to act.

What started as a few donated backpacks quickly grew into a nationwide movement of compassion — reaching children affected by trafficking, abuse, neglect, terminal illness, and natural disasters.

Thousands of children reached since 2016

Over 30 partnering organizations

New partnerships forming every month

“Comfort Bags for Kids is a calling, not a career.
Each bag we give is a reminder that hope still lives — even in the hardest places.”
— DeVonna, Founder
