Give the gift of hope. Each first night bag is thoughtfully packed to provide comfort, dignity and a sense of belonging to children entering foster care.
● What are First Night Bags
First Night Bags offer a meaningful and dignified alternative to the basic trash bag often given to children entering foster care. Each bag is thoughtfully filled with essential and comfort items meant to bring a sense of peace and security during a time of transition.
Focus On The Family has provided duffle bags, teddy bears and Bibles (youth & teen) through their Suitcase Bundle Program with their Wait Not More ministry. The Wait No More team has collaborated with Beauty Amidst The Ashes to provide these items at no cost.

A child receives their first night bag as they transition into care.
Every child deserves to feel seen and valued. First Night Bags offer more than supplies – they offer dignity, comfort and hope to children entering foster care. When you give, you’re helping transform a moment of fear and uncertainty into one of care and compassion. It’s a simple act with a profound impact – a reminder to a child that they are seen, valued and not alone.
