Give Hope They Can Hold

Why TAC Helping Hands Matters

Respect

We give children more than a bag—we give them dignity during one of life’s hardest moments.

Relief

Duffle bags replace garbage bags, offering children something that’s theirs to keep.

Reach

Through direct partnerships with DCS, every donated bag reaches a child in need across Tennessee.

Our Mission Is to Bring Dignity to Children in Foster Care

When a child enters foster care, it’s often in the middle of chaos—and their clothes and prized possessions are placed in a garbage bag. It’s dehumanizing. It tells them they don’t matter. TAC Helping Hands is here to change that.

We provide sturdy, high-quality, specially designed duffle bags to children in Tennessee’s foster system, something they can call their own. Because every child deserves to be treated with dignity, especially in their darkest moments.

But our work doesn’t stop there. Through close relationships with DCS and other child-serving organizations, we step in when other needs arise: providing essentials like toiletries, sports gear, baby items, and more to ensure no child or foster family is left unsupported.
