ORLAND, Fla.—Closet Factory Orlando volunteers worked with Comfort Cases, a nonprofit providing backpacks to children in foster care. According to WKMG Orlando, the group packed over 250 backpacks with hygiene products and pajamas.

“For you to be able to donate these backpacks, for us to be able to fill them, we are making a change,” Rob Scheer, Comfort Cases founder, said in a quote from the local news station. “When my kids started to arrive through foster care, they all carried this. A trash bag. And I couldn’t believe how can we sit here and have this interview and talk about how we care so much about children, but we give them the one thing that we know is supposed to go in there which is garbage,” he added.
