Giving Back

Here at Flying Circle, we're grateful each and every day for you, our loyal customers.  We know that we wouldn't be here without you.  So, we do our best to honor you by supporting charitable organizations in our area and beyond.  Again, we couldn't do these things without you!

Here are some of the ways Flying Circle is giving back:

OPERATION BACKPACK

In cooperation with U.S. Cavalry and the 7th Special Forces Group in Afghanistan, Flying Circle Bags donated 500 backpacks for the children of Afghanistan.  The backpacks were packed with school supplies and personal items and were distributed to Afghan boys and girls for their new school year.

GIRL SCOUTS OF EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS

When the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts called on us to help with their community service project, we were honored to donate bags to help out.  The Girl Scouts packed the bags full of goodies to make children's "care packages" for a local child protective services agency.  Each child that goes through the agency receives one of these lovingly prepared care packages.

RED CROSS & SALVATION ARMY

After Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurrican Ike in 2008, many evacuees found themselves in San Antonio with very little in the way of personal belongings.  By partnering with the Red Cross and Salvation Army, Flying Circle Bags was able to donate over 10,000 bags, backpacks, & duffels to displaced people during these Gulf Coast disasters.

CHILD LEGACY INTERNATIONAL

This organization in Malawi Africa works with families and children in poverty stricken villages to increase access to healthcare and to provide vocational & agricultural training.  Flying Circle Bags donates warehouse space for consolidation and collection of items donated from the US for this organzation.  In addition, we are honored to donate bags to this wonderful program.
