Savannah Bananas baseball team steps up to the plate for group helping foster kids

WASHINGTON (Gray DC) – The Savannah Bananas are known for their fun and unique take on America’s national pastime, but the baseball team also does a lot of work off the field to help kids in foster care.

They play Saturday in Washington, and they’ll be honoring the founders of the nonprofit Comfort Cases.

The organization provides foster kids with backpacks so they don’t have to carry their belonging in trash bags when they move from home to home.

“You hand a child a trash bag, the first thing they feel is disposable, invisible, as if they are not wanted. Giving them something new that belongs to them, that’s not hand-me-downs, shows them truly that they are loved and people are seeing them,” Comfort Cases Co-Founder Rob Scheer said.

Scheer said since starting comfort cases 13 years ago, the organization has delivered 265,000 backpacks to kids across the U.S. and the U.K.
