Think, for a moment, about how chaotic it is to move to a new residence. Now imagine what it would be like to make this move with only a garbage bag in which to carry a few possessions. This is how thousands of foster and newly adopted children make their custodial transitions, sometimes several times a year.

That’s where Communities for Children steps in with its Smooth Moves Luggage Campaign. The goal is to give each foster and newly adopted child one piece of luggage, a simple item that helps them to make custodial transitions with a sense of dignity. The luggage is delivered to local offices of the Division of Family and Children Services for distribution to the children.

We invite you to help of young children in foster care and adoptive homes by making a monetary donation to the Smooth Moves Luggage Campaign.
