How Can I Help?

No matter how much or how little time you have to give, you help.

"Adopt" a Foster Youth

This is particularly important for older youth who have "aged out" of foster care, typically at 18 years of age, yet still require significant support to live independently. Provide college care packages, a place at the table for holiday celebrations and, most importantly, strong ties to caring adults whom they can count on in both good and bad times.

Hold a Donation Drive

Collect clothing, books, toys, computers, sports equipment, musical instruments and school supplies for distribution to children in foster care via local agencies.

Help Provide a Support System

Foster parents and relative caregivers can also use your support. Invite them to dinner or take the kids to the zoo or a movie. This brief reprieve for the caregivers will also give you a chance to develop a relationship with a child, like the aunts and uncles many of us have.
