A bag support and dispensing apparatus including a sleeve that is passed through aligned apertures in a stack of bags to support the bags. A collar at the back end of the sleeve is detachably engaged with a support member. The forward end of the sleeve has a flange that is dimensioned to readily pass through an enlarged aperture in the top portion of the front wall of a bag when the front wall of the bag is pulled in a forward direction. The flange is also dimensioned to resist passing through a smaller aperture in the top portion of the back wall of the bag to allow the bag to be held in an open position for receiving articles. A loaded bag is disengaged from the sleeve by pulling the bag in a forward direction with sufficient force to distend the smaller rear aperture so that the flange passes through the smaller aperture to release the back wall of the loaded bag. The sleeve is disengaged from the support member after all of the bags have been removed and thereafter a new stack of bags is slipped over the sleeve and the sleeve is re-engaged with the support member.
