OUR MISSION

Lisa's Legacy encourages people to bring compassionate conversation and hope to those who are hurting by sharing bags with items of comfort and support.

OUR VISION

Lisa's Legacy provides tools and educational resources to individuals seeking to help and support people dealing with a difficult circumstance.  The primary tool is a bag containing items of comfort and practicality provided at no costs, which serves as a catalyst to promote compassionate, sensitive conversation between the person giving the bag and the recipient.
Our four-fold vision is to:
  • increase the overall awareness of Lisa's Legacy so that more compassionate people can connect with those in need
  • partner with compassion-based organizations in Fort Wayne and surrounding counties to form a regional distribution network for the bags
  • offer the bags and educational resources online to anyone desiring assistance to initiate a compassionate conversation
  • be self-sustaining through donations, sponsorships and grants
