A Day Our Community Showed Up

Bags & Bingo was loud, joyful, and full of purpose, and we’re still smiling about it.

With 100+ people in the room, our community came together to rally around foster children in a way that felt genuinely powerful. Between the laughter, the bingo wins, the purses, and the giving… the best part was knowing every moment helped fuel real support for kids who deserve comfort, dignity, and the reminder that they’re not alone.

To everyone who attended, volunteered, donated, shared, and cheered us on,

thank you for showing up and helping us bring hope home.

Thank You, Bags & Bingo Sponsors + Partners

Because of your generosity (and this community’s big hearts), Bags & Bingo turned into something so much bigger than an event, it became real help for foster kids right here in Baldwin County.

Your support helps us turn a fun day into Hope Bags filled with essentials and comfort for children entering foster care. This event’s impact means we can provide roughly 40–50 Hope Bags for kids who need them most, the kind of support that shows up immediately when everything else feels uncertain.

From the bottom of our hearts: thank you for making it happen.
