Our vision is to provide a sense of dignity and respect to those who receive a bag. The key is to be able to build lasting relationships and provide bags that aid in the restoration of hope in Northwest Arkansas and around the world. Our motto is, “the bag is just a tool.” The bag is just a tool to take that first step in building a continuous friendship. It establishes a sense of dignity and respect. It puts a name with a face. It is a tool to know the story, the journey, the pain, the suffering, the joy, the motivations and so much more of a person. The bag is truly just a tool to reach the unknown and the overlooked. We believe that the end of poverty is possible through new and/or restored relationships.  Stories allow us to view the “issues” through the eyes of those who live through the nightmare of poverty, so we share what we see in the hope that “issues” will become people.
