Who We Are

Who are we? We are nothing without all of YOU who make this possible. LoveYourBAG is all of us. Together with all of our sponsors, volunteers, partners, donors, support system we are able to continuously give back to our underserved communities. We are all humanity, we are all what the world needs more of. We Together Carry The Load.

LoveYourBAG was founded during the height of the pandemic. Since 2020 we have continued to do our part to give back . Every year we host an array of events for communities within the 5 boroughs of New York City such as Back to School Giveaways, Coat Drives, Holiday Toy Giveaways, Mental Health Physical Fitness Awareness Events and much more.

We are a donation based organization. We donate clothing of all genders and sizes to shelters around NYC and also underserved communities and families in need. We have donated and partnered with 13 NYC shelters thus far and counting.

Our partners and volunteers have been a huge part of our continued success story and we plan to have the pleasure of partnering and meeting more and more like minded individuals looking to make change in our communities.

Our volunteers are known to always interact with those who attend our events and ensure everybody has a great time while receiving our services whether it be clothes, a workout session, school supplies or any of the many other items and services we freely give to the community. Find out about our next volunteer event here.

Together WE Carry the Load and Change the Narrative one person at a time. 🧡

We aim to work with even more organizations with like minded missions in the near future.

“Throughout my entire life, I have experienced multiple times how support from someone or something no matter the size, has been the main reason behind almost everything I could accomplish in life, so if I can have the opportunity to do the same for those who don’t have that same access to that support that I did, I believe I can do my small part to positively affect those around me because working together is always better than working alone and together..we carry the load!”

" Throughout my life I always found that when other people took me under their wing per se, and would guide and educate me on anything I would be struggling with, I always achieved far greater success the. When trying to go at it alone, so I want to try and provide the same guidance, assistance, and education to others to allow them to be the best versions of themselves and the best way I know how to do that is through providing the knowledge I have about physical training, diet, and lifestyle choices to others who want it"
