Cases For Kids

Children in foster care can move on average 2-3 times a year. Many of them take what little they have in garbage or plastic bags.

The GALA Foundation is conducting donation drives to provide bags to the children in care. We accept monetary and in-kind donations. We are also collecting toiletries and school supplies in order to fill these bags for our children. Please see our Cases for Kids flier for a listing of what we need most.




$10 buys a new 20″ duffel bag or a new backpack.
$20 buys a new bag and allows us to fill it with either some personal care items or school supplies.

Contact us at (704) 577-2375 or guardian@meckguardian.org if you have a bag you would like to donate.

You can also drop off the bags at the Guardian ad Litem program office at 700 E. 4th Street, Suite 300, Charlotte, NC.

A big thanks to Jim Whiteside of Whiteside Industrial Properties who graciously donated some industrial space to house all of our incoming bag donations.


We have received many donations of bags from great local clubs and volunteers.  Check out our most recent
