***This program is temporarily on hold, due to COVID-19.***

The Need

It's well known that many foster children are removed from their homes for any number of reasons; because of that, they often have few—if any—belongings with them. As these children move through the system, their things are put in trash bags and shuffled from home to home. ​We can do better.

The Program

Fostering Love is a program I started for foster children in my county, but it has since grown into a nationwide effort—providing bags of necessities, along with a reassurance so many of these kids desperately need. There are people out there who see them, people who care about them and their future.

How You Can Help

Step 1
Contact your local Department of Health and Human Services and ask to speak with a social worker in the foster care division. They should be able to tell you what is most needed in your area, as well as where to send your donation.

​Step 2
Use the provided lists of items to prepare your bag(s).
Infant - 2
boys 6-10
girls 6-10
kids 10+
​​Step 3 (Optional)
Download, print, and attach this tag to your bag, so the social worker can write the child's name on it.

Fostering Love is a great project for churches, youth groups, school groups, families, and individuals who want to make a difference! Check out this great article about my friend, Linda McMann, who is making Fostering Love kits in her county.
