The 2025 Annual BAGS of Blessings and Grocery Giveaway has kicked off, and we are bringing hope to families in transition this season. Our reach is consistently growing. In 2020, we served a little over 50 Blessing Bags and turkeys to needy families. In 2021, we blessed over 200 families with Butterball Turkeys and bags, purses, and backpacks filled with toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, deodorant, shampoo, canned goods, and other basic needs items. Cars and walk-ups wrapped around the block! In 2022 and 2023 we continued the tradition of giving over 200 families Butterball Turkeys and bags filled with toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, deodorant, and more. Last Year, we blessed families with Gift Cards and groceries. In 2024, we concentrated our efforts to impact families without resources to cook and impact 200 families. Blessings BAGS 2025, we aim to continue our tradition of 200 families. It is not too late to give this season. Thank you in advance.
“Blessing Bags for Families campaign not only provides women, men, and youth with a purse or backpack to call their own but also the gift of dignity.”
This campaign is in addition to our annual End-of-year giveaway and the OMB Grant for families in transition. The Center of inPOWERmeant's mission is to impact the trajectory of families' lives by continually being a bridge of hope and solutions that go beyond solutions and provide a better way of life.
According to recent stats of 53,195 people who are experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles County, 22% of homeless are 62 years and older, 3 out of 4 are without shelter, 6% of people experiencing homelessness are fleeing violence, and 9,322 are experiencing homelessness for the first time, and since 2022 unemployment rate is at an all-time high of 4,937,000.
“The need continues to grow, along with the number of people joining the campaign and sending a message of caring and hope to families in need.”
The gift of a purse or backpack—and seeing the care and thoughtfulness that filled it with necessities that many of us take for granted—can help boost the confidence of a family at a shelter working to rebuild their lives.
While the purses and backpacks are filled with practical items, from tissues to tampons, and the usual essentials, from lip balm and gum to gift cards and hair clips, shelter employees say the heartfelt personal note many donors also include is particularly appreciated.
