Donate

Donations are the foundation and backbone of Bags of Hope! So many of your Lake Norman neighbors have given monetary gifts and donations of food and supplies. Will you help too? Scroll down for ways to give.

Monetary Donations

Partnerships with food banks, grocery stores, and food distributors stretch our donated dollars for maximum impact.


Child sponsorship is $60 per month or $500 for the school year.

Custom donation amounts and one-time gifts are also possible. Everything helps!

Needed Supplies

It takes more than just food to run Bags of Hope. Additional needed items include:


- Backpacks: Kids are so proud of their shiny new backpacks. We're always looking for bags for newly added children.


- Large zip-close plastic bags, 2.5 gallon size: We try to re-use these, but they wear out quickly.


- Plastic grocery bags: We use these to transport food bags; it's a great chance to recycle!
