About

Who We Are

We're over 200 volunteers, donors, and friends who are working to provide a measure of dignity to those in need.

Our History

This effort began in 2018, under the auspices of the Advisory Board to Delaware Volunteer 50+. In 2023, Duffle Bags and More was incorporated in the state of Delaware, established a corporate Board of Directors and Officers, and received non-profit status from the Internal Revenue Service. We have over 200 Volunteers, Donors, and Friends.

What We Do

How We Make A Difference

We make duffle bags and toiletry bags. Most of these go to children entering foster care. Often these children are given a trash bag to use to move their belongings. Our hope and belief is that having a sturdy duffle bag will lessen their discomfort in such a stressful moment. We also collect toiletries so that each child has a age- and gender-appropriate set of toiletries to use in their new foster home.
