20 welcome bags for children entering foster care
Hi [First name],
Since you last gave, [Name] arrived at a new foster home late one evening with everything they owned in a garbage bag.
That's why we're raising $1,000 on Giving Tuesday. It would fund 20 welcome bags at $50 each. Every bag holds pajamas, a blanket, a toothbrush set, a stuffed animal and a book, so a child's first night in care starts with something that's theirs.

Thank you: the welcome bags are on their way
Hi [First name],
Thank you. [Number of donors] people gave, and together we raised [Total raised]. That means [Outcome reached].
Next, [Name] gets a welcome bag to keep, and it goes wherever [Name] goes, even back to their birth family. The children in care who arrive after [Name] will find one waiting too.
Our December appeal is coming soon. If you'd like to keep going before then, you can start here: [Year-end appeal link]

Our Giving Tuesday goal is $1,000, enough for 20 welcome bags at $50 each. Every bag holds pajamas, a blanket, a toothbrush set, a stuffed animal and a book. All of it goes to the program because our platform, Zeffy, is free for nonprofits. If you run a business or sit on a board, I'd welcome a match for a few bags, or a share. #GivingTuesday
