Closet Factory Allentown recently announced a unique new give-back program, Bags for Kids, providing high-quality bags for children in need, including those in foster care. “Everyone deserves a place to put their stuff,” says Bob Focht, president of Closet Factory Allentown. “When we heard that children in the foster care system are often given a black plastic trash bag to carry the possessions most important to them, we knew we had to do something to help.” An initiative of Closet Factory Cares, the nonprofit national foundation from Closet Factory, Bags for Kids aims to help solve a national problem through a localized approach: donations of bags from Closet Factory Allentown will benefit local children through Closet Factory Allentown's charity partners. Every new project a Closet Factory client starts generates a bag for a child in need. “As a proud member of the Allentown community, it's our goal to help build stronger communities together,” says Focht.
