About Dekomforter Resource Foundation

Building a community where everyone feels valued, supported, and hopeful

Our Story

Community volunteers working together

Dekomforter Resource Foundation was born from a simple yet powerful idea: everyone deserves comfort during difficult times. What started as a small group of volunteers assembling care packages has grown into a comprehensive organization serving thousands of individuals and families each year.

Founded in 2015, we recognized that many people in our community—children in hospitals, seniors living alone, families facing hardship—needed more than just material support. They needed to know that someone cared, that they weren't forgotten, and that hope still existed.

Today, we continue that mission through our Comfort Bags program, educational workshops, resource center, and community partnerships. Every day, we work to bring comfort, dignity, and hope to those who need it most.
