S 4435 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes luggage donation program for children in resource family care in DCF.

This bill establishes a program through New Jersey's Department of Children and Families (DCF) to provide new or slightly used luggage (suitcases, backpacks, etc.) to children in resource family care. It directly affects children aged 21 or younger placed in resource family care by DCF, providing luggage for specific transitions: entering care, moving between homes, attending college, or aging out of care. The program will contract with community organizations to accept, store, and distribute clean, durable luggage that has been cleared of donor belongings. DCF must submit annual reports tracking how many children received luggage and the program's effectiveness.
