vFirst Night Bags are one of the first ways FLAR meets a child’s needs in a moment of sudden change. When a child enters foster care – often with little more than the clothes they’re wearing – our bags provide essential items and comfort right away.

Each bag is thoughtfully packed with new, age-appropriate basics and a few items that help a child feel safe and seen. More than supplies, First Night Bags offer dignity and reassurance as a child walks into a new foster home for the very first time.

Through this program, FLAR helps ensure children and caregivers have what they need on day one, because every child deserves to start their next chapter with care, comfort, and hope.
