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!

🥹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.

I am SO excited to announce that Brave Bags is officially beginning its 8th year! While I may not be in the classroom this year, Mr. Hoogland is leading the Brave Bags program at Humboldt Middle School with approximately 90 seventh and eighth- grade students!!

Students are not only learning valuable life lessons like empathy and compassion but also gaining practical skills in marketing, real-world math (such as unit pricing), the positive impact of social media, fundraising, and professional writing (including sending letters to local businesses), among many other enriching experiences.

Last year was our most successful year we have ever had, and we are excited to build on that momentum as we aim to make the 2024-2025 school year our best one yet!
