Hospitality Backpacks

For holidays and birthdays, I've given these Hospitality Backpacks rather than traditional gifts. People come to the U.S. fleeing persecution, violence, and poverty, hoping for a better life. The conditions at Stewart Detention are rough: https://www.detentionwatchnetwork.org/sites/default/files/reports/DWN%20Expose%20and%20Close%20Stewart.pdf A backpack filled with a set of new, clean "civilian" clothes gives some dignity and a sense of humanity when people are deported from detention... the person receiving the backpack knows that someone cares about them. I trust Koinonia as a non-profit organization that has done excellent, thoughtful work ... the backpack program is just one of many, many great, focused programs that change people's lives.
