Priced as one real production order by Merch.com — decoration, tax, delivery and fulfillment all in the goal.
Last year 131 children came through our doors. Almost all of them arrived carrying what they owned in a garbage bag.
We want to change the first five minutes. Every Welcome Bag is a sturdy backpack, a twin bedding set in their pick of three colors, a heavyweight hoodie, a toiletry kit, a water bottle and a blank journal with a note from one of the older kids who came before them.
The hoodie and the backpack carry the small Hope Ridge sunrise, nothing loud. The kids asked for that: something that looks like it came from a store, not from a program.
$85 makes one bag. 140 bags covers the year ahead with a few to spare for siblings who arrive together.
Sponsor recognition, set by Hope Ridge Children's Home
Where a sponsor’s brand can go
Hope Ridge Children's Home decides where a sponsor’s brand may appear, and the main design stays theirs. A sponsor picks one of these and nothing else. On a live drive, this is what a company sees before it sponsors.
- Recognition on this page onlyNo sponsor branding on the goods. The sponsor is named here and in the impact report.
“Nothing a child wears or carries says who paid for it.”
Drawn to show where, not the exact size. Nothing is printed until Hope Ridge Children's Home approves a print proof, and no sponsor branding is ever added without their approval.
How backing works
Every dollar becomes goods
This goal is a real production order, priced before the drive went live — the items above, with decoration, tax, delivery and fulfillment in the number. The goal is the order.
Funded means made
When the bar fills, production starts. Hope Ridge Children's Home never has to chase invoices or manage a vendor — the goods just arrive.
Every outcome counts
Land short of the goal and Hope Ridge Children's Home still gets merchandise scaled to what was raised. Sail past it and the extra becomes credit toward what they need next. Nothing raised here goes to waste.
