Nonprofit Assists 150,000 Foster Care Children
Comfort Cases is assisting tens of thousands of children in America’s foster care system. The organization’s mission is to inspire an engaged alliance of people, organizations, and corporations to bring dignity and hope to children in foster care through Comfort, Community, Character, and Compassion.

Co-hosts Budinich and Saftlas will interview Scheer about:
 building and mentoring staff and volunteers to create an effective and efficient organization,
 managing an organization’s or a company’s finances and resources,
 creating alliances with corporate sponsors and companies,
 the value corporations receive when their employees help worthy not-for-profits, and
 developing relationships between people who want devote time and talent to a positive mission that is greater than themselves.

Each day Comfort Cases provides foster care children with knapsacks filled with such essential items as clothes, personal care products, warm blankets, cuddly stuffed animals, books and more. Typically, foster care children carry their few personal items in a black garbage bag. The organization, with its many allies, has provided more than 150,000 knapsacks to children across 14 states and the District of Columbia.

Scheer said, “Our Comfort Cases help children making the often confusing and scary transition to a foster care home. By providing these items in their own knapsack, we’re helping neglected kids develop a sense of dignity, personal worthiness and optimism about their new home lives and, hopefully, a sense of promise.”

Investors Foundation Supports Comfort Cases
The Investors Foundation, which is a nonprofit organization affiliated with the bank, has provided grant funding to Comfort Cases for a number of years, and teams of bank employees have helped pack the knapsacks donated to children in foster care.

Scheer Works Closely with Frontline Teams
Budinich says, “Scheer is a leader who works closely with staff and volunteers on the frontline of Comfort Care’s operations. In the field, the groups face obstacles together, strive to develop solutions and take actions that help them increase their level of service.”
