WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As families and communities continue to navigate economic uncertainty, My Stuff Bags Foundation remains committed to helping children entering foster care, shelters, and crisis placements after experiencing abuse, neglect, homelessness, or other traumatic events.
Since 1998, the nonprofit has distributed more than 750,000 My Stuff Bags across the country. Each duffel bag is filled with new essentials and comfort items that provide stability, dignity, and reassurance during uncertainty.
“Every child deserves to feel seen, valued, and cared for, especially during moments of crisis,” said Janeen Holmes, President and CEO of My Stuff Bags Foundation. “A My Stuff Bag is more than a collection of items; it sends a powerful message that a child matters and is not alone.”
The organization’s impact is made possible through volunteers, donors, and corporate partners, including longtime supporter SimplyFun, a leading educational game company that has donated more than 60,000 educational games through the My Stuff Bags Big Stuff Donor Program.
“Having partners like SimplyFun support our mission has been invaluable,” Holmes said. “Their donations help bring moments of play and comfort to children during some of the most challenging times in their lives.”
