Macomb County, MI – The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office is asking residents to step up this month as Susie Q’s Kids launches a new donation push to restock “comfort bags” given to children experiencing traumatic or stressful situations. Deputies across the county carry the bags in their patrol vehicles, offering kids immediate support during difficult moments.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the partnership with Susie Q’s Kids began more than 18 months ago and has already reached countless children across Macomb County and metro Detroit. Officials say the comfort bags—filled with stuffed animals, toys, games, and sensory tools—provide distraction, reassurance, and a sense of calm during emergencies or family crises.
The nonprofit is now seeking community donations throughout November and December to rebuild inventory. Items requested include Kramig panda bears, coloring books, crayons, Hot Wheels cars, Play-Doh, Rubik’s Cubes, UNO cards, dice games, Yahtzee and Farkle score sheets, and sensory toys such as squishy balls, fidget poppers, and stretch tubes.
Donation drop-off locations listed by Susie Q’s Kids include the Velocity Center, Advancing Macomb, Sterling Heights Police Department, Macomb County Sheriff’s Department, and the United States Air Force base at Selfridge. Monetary contributions may also be sent through PayPal or Venmo via the organization’s website.
