These ladies are dedicated volunteers who have taken on Fresh Start bags as a personal mission. They help recruit volunteers to assemble bags, solicit in-kind and financial donations to purchase supplies and help keep the Fresh Start Factory running!

ICT S.O.S is honored to partner with local agencies that serve victims of exploitation as well
as at-risk youth.
When one of these agencies comes in contact with a victim/survivor, they are oftentimes in
serious need of basic necessities.

As a community, one of the simplest things we can do is to organize and provide those
resources so that they are on hand and easily accessible in a moment of crisis.
Attached is a list of items needed if your group would like to create a Fresh Start Bag.
Here are a few guidelines:

-Please purchase NEW items.
Yes, this increases the cost. It also sends a message that the receiver is WORTH
nice, new things.
-Please purchase all clothing items in the same size. (IE: All mediums, all larges, etc.)
-Please purchase basic colors to appeal to any taste. (Darker colors work well)
-Have fun and enjoy the process. What you pick out will bless both the receiver of the
bag as well as the agency providing services. You are truly providing a FRESH START!

Completed bags can be returned to the ICT S.O.S. office at any time during business hours.
For other arrangements email lesley@ictsos.org.

When responders can meet the immediate needs of children and young adults who have
experienced trauma with these essential items it can have a big effect on helping that
person begin to build relationships with those offering help.

Your cash gift allows us to purchase items we are running low on to complete bags.

A wish list for in-kind gifts can be found HERE! (Amazon) or HERE (Walmart)
