SCSO partners with Adventure Bags, Inc.

The Stephens County Sheriff’s Office has announced its partnership with Adventure Bags, Inc.

Stephens County Sheriff Randy Shirley says Adventure Bags, Inc. is a non-profit that provides bookbags filled with overnight essentials and comfort items to children who are in crisis.

He says these bags are donated to agencies that serve children across the state at no charge.

Adventure Bags, Inc. bookbags not only comfort a child who is in a situation that is beyond their control, but, are also used as a tool for the agencies, foster homes, shelters, and first responders who serve children and/or families as a relationship builder and to assist them as they navigate through the first 24-48 hours of displacement.

Adventure Bags, Inc. Executive Director Misty Manus says, “with these bags, it is our desire that no child be without something that they can call their own and feel a sense of security and comfort during traumatic situations.”

Adventure Bags, Inc. was founded in October of 2011, and since has served over 41,000 children, while partnering with over 150 agencies in 147 counties in the state of Georgia.
