The Traveling Bag of Kindness was established in 2016 by Olivia Dudas. At the time, Olivia was 10 years old. She wanted to help children in need in her town. The Traveling Bag of Kindness provides you with a large gift bag. You then take the gift bag and fill it with what you feel would benefit a child from the age of 0 to 18. After you put your items in the bag, you can pass it on to a trusted friend. The bag continues to collect blessings as it travels along. The bag travels until it is full and then returned for distribution. The bag needs to be returned by December 20th.
In 2020 and 2021, the Traveling Bag of Kindness went virtual. Traveling Baggers helped out by ordering online and having their items be delivered directly to their charity of choice. The website helped them reach the charities' donation pages. Find out more about virtual donations from the several websites that are linked on the Home page.
Olivia Dudas created the Love Bugs initiative when she was 10 years old in 2016. The Love Bugs was created to make residents of nursing homes and assisted living centers feel special on Valentines Day. Olivia asks for homemade Valentine cards to be made with no reference to health concerns. Snack foods are also collected for employees of the facilities. Store bought Valentines cards are collected for Riley Hospital for Children. This initiative begins on December 26th and runs through February 14th.
In 2021, the Love Bugs went virtual. Crafty Bugs and Love Bugs helped out by making homemade Valentine cards. Those cards would then be delivered to their facilities and would be quarantined for safety.
