Bags of Hope 2025 – 2026

For the 2025–2026 Bags of Hope initiative, Viking Bags is joining forces with VCTF to deliver urgently needed supplies to veterans and their families during critical times. These bags are more than gear—they’re lifelines. And they’re distributed by those who serve on the front lines: County Veteran Service Offices, law enforcement, Human Services teams, and nonprofit partners who walk beside our veterans every day.

Each bag is filled with basic essentials many of us take for granted—shampoo, shaving supplies, deodorant, feminine care items often overlooked, washcloths, socks, gloves, caps, scarves, and simple snacks. These are packed with care for both men and women, offering comfort and dignity in moments of need.

For children, the bags are thoughtfully different. We do not include food, but we do provide all-new items: lap blankets or twin-sized blankets, stuffed animals, crayons, colored pencils, coloring books, and age-appropriate activity packs. Each child’s bag is clearly marked to help frontline workers respond with care and clarity.

Whether for an adult, child, or youth, every Bag of Hope is designed to do more than meet a need—it’s meant to offer a moment. A moment to listen. A moment to connect. A moment where hope is handed over, one bag at a time.
