Our Programs
Our Programs
The NAV Foundation’s The 48 Bag initiative ensures that children entering foster care have essential supplies during their transition. Many arrive with nothing, and foster families often struggle to gather necessities in urgent situations. By providing these bags, the foundation helps ease the burden, allowing families to focus on offering comfort and security.
