Mission Statement
Beloved supports children in crisis and the people who care for them.
About This Cause
Beloved is a non-profit organization that serves children removed from unsafe living situations and placed into foster or kinship care. Often, kids leaving dangerous circumstances come into custody of social services with no personal belongings. If drugs have been manufactured in the home, the children are not legally permitted to bring anything out with them. When they do assemble a few belongings, those items are transported in a garbage bag, provided by the social worker for this purpose. Unfortunately, many children entering transitional care identify that garbage bag as symbolic of their own feelings of worthlessness. When we replace that garbage bag with a new, high-quality duffle bag, stocked with items that meet immediate physical and emotional needs -- a Beloved Bag -- we replace the lie of worthlessness with the truth of every child's inestimable value. In keeping with our mission to affirm the dignity of children displaced by tragedy and crisis, Beloved recently partnered with the American Red Cross to equip all 2900 refugee children housed at our local military base with the same Beloved Bags that we offer to local children who are facing traumatic transition. Although the myriad factors contributing to child displacement, both locally and globally, seem overwhelming, this reinforcement of a sense of worthlessness by a garbage bag or empty hands is an eminently solvable problem. When we replace the garbage bag with a high-quality duffle bag, we replace that lie of worthlessness with the truth that every child is Beloved.
