Empowering entrepreneurs from the ground up. The Takeout Bag Campaign provides essential resources and business support to aspiring business owners facing economic barriers.

Our innovative three-phase approach begins with the Essentials Bag, combining groceries and personal necessities with fundamental business resources. We recognize that entrepreneurship is nearly impossible when basic needs remain unmet. By addressing both immediate challenges and long-term goals simultaneously, we remove critical barriers that prevent talented individuals from pursuing their business dreams.

As entrepreneurs progress through our program, they can qualify for our Startup and Growth bags, receiving increasingly advanced tools, mentorship, and technology to build sustainable businesses. Each bag is carefully curated to match entrepreneurs’ development stage and contains practical tools they can immediately apply.

Every participant connects with a business advisor before receiving their bag, ensuring personalized guidance alongside practical resources. These 15-minute advisory sessions help tailor the experience to each individual’s specific business goals and challenges. Our advisors provide ongoing support as participants work through each phase of the program.
The Essentials Bag includes groceries, personal care items, business registration guides, and foundational entrepreneurship materials.

The Startup Bag provides office supplies, branding resources, and marketing templates. The Growth Bag delivers technology tools, specialized financial planning resources, and connections to industry-specific mentorship.

The Takeout Bag Campaign seeks to create pathways to entrepreneurship for those often overlooked by traditional business support systems. We envision partnerships with community organizations, businesses, and chambers of commerce to expand our reach and enhance the resources available to participants.
Our goal is to support entrepreneurs across diverse industries—from food service and retail to technology and professional services—helping them build not only successful businesses but also increased confidence, expanded networks, and improved quality of life.

Join us in building economic independence, one bag at a time. Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur looking for support, a potential partner organization, or a donor interested in contributing to our bags, we welcome your participation in this transformative initiative.
