The Anchor Bag Foundation delivers care backpacks to parents with children unexpectedly hospitalized for extended stays. Each bag is filled with practical essentials and emotional support to help families stay anchored through the storm.

Each Anchor Bag contains a thoughtfully curated collection of comfort and necessity items—such as a cozy blanket, water bottle, phone charger, neck pillow, personal care items, and more. These essentials are meant to support parents during long hospital stays and remind them they are not alone.

You can make a one-time or recurring donation directly through our website. All financial contributions help us fund and deliver Anchor Bags to families in need. The Anchor Bag Foundation is a registered nonprofit, so your donation is tax deductible. A receipt will be provided for your records.

While we deeply appreciate the generosity and thought behind item donations, we are not currently accepting specific items. This helps us maintain consistency across every Anchor Bag and ensures all products meet our quality and safety standards. Your consideration means the world to us, and we encourage those who wish to help to consider making a financial donation or supporting us through volunteer opportunities.

As of Oct 1st, 2025, we have distributed over 100 Anchor Bags to families in hospitals across the region. Each bag represents a moment of hope and care during one of life’s most difficult storms—and we’re just getting started!

We’d love to hear from you! You can contact us through the form on our website or by emailing [insert email address]. If you'd like to share a story, suggest a hospital for partnership, or explore collaboration opportunities, we welcome those messages too. Your voice helps us grow and better serve families in crisis.
