The Acadia Parish 4-H Junior Leadership Club is sponsoring a parishwide drive to assemble first-night bags for foster kids in Acadiana.
First-night bags are given to foster kids so that they have essential supplies for the first night in a foster home. When a child goes into a new foster home it is typically last minute, and the child is not given time to gather items other than personal belongings and the foster parents also do not have time to go and purchase items on a short notice.
