Luggage giveaway for kids going through the foster system hosted in NWA

The goal is to allow foster kids to move their belongings respectfully in suitcases, instead of bags as they move in and out of the system.

ARKANSAS, USA — Travel Advisors of Northwest Arkansas (TANWA) is hosting a luggage giveaway event to benefit kids at the Northwest Arkansas Children's Shelter who need help carrying their belongings through the foster system.

The event is going on from Thursday, Aug. 31 - Friday, Sept. 1, and if you can't make it to any of the drop-off locations, they are also accepting luggage donations through their Amazon Wishlist.
