About Bags of Hope Indiana

Bags of Hope Indiana was founded in 2018 by local mother Krysti Widau who felt a call to help the growing foster community in Indiana. Bags of Hope an annual orphan care project where we provide Duffle bags to children in Foster Care, embroidered with their name and filled with age appropriate comfort items (i.e. Pillow Pets, journals, fleece blankets, etc...) Often times children in foster care store their personal belongings in a trash bag.
