This September 25th, Best Stuff of Westlake Village, CA, will be holding its fundraiser for the My Stuff Bags Foundation and serving gourmet food and wine to go along with games, a silent auction, and other raffle items including three signed scripts by the guest stars of yet to be aired episodes of "The Simpsons."
The foundation was started back in 1998 to bring attention to the immediate physical and emotional needs of children who experience abuse and neglect and after being rescued are entered into shelters or foster care homes without any personal belongings.
Janeen Holmes, president and CEO of the foundation, explains the unique program, "It provides children with their own individual My Stuff duffel's filled with a variety of new, age- and gender-appropriate childhood essentials such as toys, books, a stuffed animal, toiletries, a blanket and other items to help provide comfort, diversion, and a sense of dignity and self-esteem during a frightening, very difficult time in their young lives."
The foundation has provided these bags to a variety of child and family service agencies free of charge for over ten years to help them maximize the limited resources available to them.
Holmes expresses the most important part of the foundation, "It was created to give these deserving children the realization that people they didn't even know care very deeply about them."
Here's to you My Stuff Bags Foundation for giving these deserving children something to hold to in a very traumatic time-stay positive, stay generous, and STAY COOL!
