Stepfanie Armstrong is on her way to making her passion project an official nonprofit, having initially started the Homeless Bag Project in her car in 2016.

After filling about 125 bags with bulky clothing items, toiletries and light snacks last year at the Butler Slippery Rock University Center for Community Engagement, Empowerment and Development (SUCCEED), Armstrong is teaming up with the Butler YWCA this year to try to surpass that goal.

“If we can get 150 or more bags filled I would be ecstatic,” said Armstrong, coordinator of the Homeless Bag Project. “I know it might be a bit of a reach, but aim high.”
