What if your next team-building experience could brighten a family's day?
Bags of Change is a meaningful, hands-on activity where your team will design and decorate reusable burlap bags that will be donated to children and families in rural communities across Latin America.
During the event, each team will paint the bags, write heartfelt notes, and bring their own creativity into the project. After your event, the bags will be filled with fruits, vegetables, and essential items, then delivered to local villages to support families in need.
It’s not just about the art — it’s about connection, empathy, and making a real impact. Along the way, your team will bond over shared purpose, creativity, and the knowledge that their efforts are part of something bigger. When your team comes together to give back, it builds more than just bags — it builds a stronger culture. This is Bags of Change: A Creative Giving Experience.
We kick things off with a fun twist — your team will participate in lighthearted challenges and trivia games to earn the supplies they'll use during the activity. Once they've collected their materials, it's time to get creative. Teams will decorate burlap bags, write personal notes to the families receiving them, and bring each bag to life with color and care. Each bag tells a story — one created by your team and continued by the family who receives it. The simple act of painting a design or writing a kind note becomes something much bigger: a symbol of care, connection, and hope. It’s a shared experience that leaves a lasting impact, not just on those receiving the bags, but on the teams who create them together.
Get the taste of the experience and the fun!
Strayboots takes team-building to the next level by combining collaboration with real-world impact. Our Bags of Change experience isn’t just about decorating bags — it’s about connecting your team to a cause, sparking meaningful conversations, and building a shared sense of purpose. We make it easy and engaging. From setup to facilitation, our professional hosts guide your team through every step of the experience — including the bag design, message writing, and the story behind the families who will receive them. You’ll walk away with more than decorated bags. You’ll walk away with stronger connections, boosted morale, and the satisfaction of doing something good — together. With Strayboots, your team doesn’t just give back. They grow together.
The full experience typically lasts around 90 minutes to 2 hours. This includes the fun team games to collect materials, the decorating and note-writing session, and a meaningful wrap-up led by our facilitator. It’s flexible and can be adjusted to fit your schedule.
We provide all the materials needed: burlap bags, paints, markers, brushes, and writing supplies — plus professional event facilitation. We also handle the logistics for collecting and shipping the bags, and coordinate the donation to families in Latin America.
This activity is great for all types of teams — remote teams meeting in person, corporate groups, or departments looking to reconnect. It’s non-physical, inclusive, and focuses on creativity, collaboration, and shared impact, making it ideal for diverse teams.
After your event, we collect the decorated bags and send them to our nonprofit partners on the ground in Latin America. There, the bags are filled on-site with fresh fruits, vegetables, and essential supplies, and distributed directly to local families and children.
Yes! We can include your company’s logo, themes, or even tailor the trivia questions and challenges to your company culture. If you're celebrating a milestone or want to tie the event to a CSR initiative, we’ll make sure it aligns with your goals.
