Randolph County Sheriff’s Office Partners with Comfort Cases to Support Children Going into Foster Care and Victims of Domestic Violence
The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office has a partnership with Comfort Cases, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing dignity and hope to children entering foster care and victims of domestic violence. This collaboration strengthens our efforts to ensure victims experiencing difficult transitions receive compassion, support, and often essential personal care items during one of the most challenging moments in their lives.
Comfort Cases provide backpacks/duffel bags filled with brand-new essentials, such as pajamas, blankets, hygiene kits, books, and stuffed animals for children entering the foster care system or who have to leave a residence in a rush. (What’s a Comfort Case | Comfort Cases) They also provide empty extra-large 32” duffel bags that can be used by children or adults who may need to pack items when leaving a situation. These bags replace the inadequate and undignified practice of using trash bags to carry belongings, helping victims feel valued and cared for.
Sheriff Seabolt states, “Our commitment to the safety and well-being of our citizens in Randolph County extends beyond law enforcement. Partnering with Comfort Cases aligns with our mission to serve and protect those who need comfort the most. Every victim deserves dignity and hope, especially in moments of trauma or uncertainty.”
Through this partnership, deputies and staff will be equipped with Comfort Cases to distribute to children during removals, emergencies, and other critical incidents and adults in domestic violence situations. The Sheriff’s Office has long supported programs like Project Hug, which provides stuffed animals to deputies to hand out to children in various situations, and this new partnership will markedly expand those efforts.
