What is a Cooper's Tote?
A Cooper's Tote is filled with age appropriate items, and will be given to children upon their arrival into the foster system. These totes are something they can take with them on their journey, something they can call their own. Since many children enter with so few belongings, the psychological importance of owning a bag of your own nice things cannot be underestimated!
