Brave Bags is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to creating care packages for children who are hospitalized in Iowa. These packages contain various items such as socks, lotion, small toys, coloring/art supplies, and more! Katie Phillips and her students collect these items and then work together to package each Brave Bag according to the child's age and gender. The main goal of Brave Bags is to instill in our students the importance of prioritizing the needs of others over their own. We believe that even at a young age, they can make a positive impact in our world. Additionally, our mission is to provide support and inspiration to hospitalized children, reminding them of their bravery. Over the past 4 years, we have distributed over 1,000 Brave Bags to various hospitals across Iowa, including Fort Dodge Regional Medical Center, Des Moines Children's Hospital, Iowa Children's Hospital, Mercy Medical Center, and more!

Hey Friends!!
Brave Bags received a donation in honor of Dylan Hill. Dylan was diagnosed with Leukemia when he was 17 years old and is still being treated at Blank Children's Hospital in Des Moines. He has a heart for the younger kiddos who are suffering from cancer and childhood illnesses.

Dylan will hopefully ring the bell in March and will be cancer-free! 🤩🎉

We are all thinking of you, Dylan!! Keep being BRAVE!

🥹What a cool moment.

We are deeply honored to have been selected by Life 107.1 as their sponsored organization.

Our heartfelt thanks also go to the wonderful owners of Walter Roofing for their generous support and heartfelt contribution to our mission. Their giving is especially meaningful as it honors their nephew, who has spent much of his life in the hospital. Their kindness and compassion truly make a difference.

It is through the kindness and generosity of businesses and individuals like you that we are able to continue our mission. Thank you for making a difference.
