New bags for everyone!

Here at Gorilla Sacks we just love giving back to the community in any way we can. We wanted to start the new year off with some good karma points, so we decided to give our bags to people who could really use them. After a little digging around to find people who would truly put our bags to good use, we found two very worthy causes that we know will benefit from our donations. 
  
The first is Totes for Tots, a bag drive that gives all donated luggage, backpacks and bags to children in the foster care system. Many foster care children have to carry their belongings in trash bags when they move between houses. Here at Gorilla Sacks we're up to our ears in bags and we just couldn't bear the thought someone not having a real bag to call their own. So we donated our Gorilla Sacks bags because we know they will be tough enough to withstand any challenge, just like the many wonderful kids in foster care.

Mary Campbell and Stacy Spriggs work hard everyday for the residents of Urban Residential Development Corporation.

The second charity we chose is Urban Residential Development Corporation. This is an absolutely awesome housing program for homeless and low-income residents. Many of these residents have been affected by issues such as mental illness, substance abuse or life-threatening illnesses like HIV/AIDS.  URDC is dedicated to providing not only housing for their residents, but also services to help aide residents in getting their feet back on the ground, such as counseling and life skills classes. We donated our Gorilla Sacks bags to the residents to use while grocery shopping or running errands.
 
We feel inspired by the charities that we found and we hope that you do too!
