Grit Grace and Glow collects new and gently used luggage to give foster girls a tangible sense of dignity and self-worth. A piece of luggage is more than just a container for their belongings; it’s a symbol of confidence, stability, and hope for the future. It says to them: You matter. Your circumstances do not define you. You are worthy of care and respect.
 
The impact of receiving luggage is transformative. Imagine a foster girl standing tall as she packs her things, not into a garbage bag, but into a suitcase she can call her own. That small yet significant change can inspire grit to persevere, grace to embrace her journey, and a glow that shines with newfound confidence.
 
We invite you to join us in this mission. By donating luggage, you’re not just giving a bag, you’re helping us rewrite the stories of countless foster girls.

Here’s how you can help:
  • Donate new or gently used luggage once a month.
  • Spread the word to friends, family, and colleagues who might also be willing to give.
  • Donate financially to purchase essential items to be placed in each luggage.

Donations can be dropped off at (assigned location). If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our organization, please don’t hesitate to reach out at info@gritgraceandglow.org.

Thank you for opening your heart to this cause. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these young girls, helping them pack not just their belongings, but also their confidence, dreams, and hope for brighter days ahead.
Make A Financial Donation
It’s important for Grit Grace and Glow to have donors complete a donation form for Luggage of Hope so we can track each donation, send proper acknowledgments, and stay compliant with nonprofit guidelines. It helps us plan better, match luggage with real needs, and keep things organized. Plus, it builds trust and keeps communication clear between us and our supporters.
