Help us cheer on young adults who grew up in foster care and are pursuing their goals!

It can be tough growing up in foster care. Youth who do often face more challenges as they transition to adulthood and pursue post-secondary education. Without families, they miss out on the emotional and financial support that their peers rely on. On top of their studies, most youth work multiple jobs to afford school and often spend holidays alone.  Help us applaud these youth’s accomplishments and support their continued hard work defying the odds with care packages! Each youth will receive a special package full of goodies.

How can I help? The next batch of Care Packages will go out in early November. Now through October 30th, we’re collecting supplies, gift cards and monetary donations to fill the care packages.

Organize your coworkers to hold a drive. Challenge your friends to solicit donations from local stores. Ask your faith group to collect items from community members.

Every little bit helps, and together, we can show these amazing youth that there are lots of people cheering them on!

The full list of items we need is here or you can shop our Amazon Wish List.

How can I get a care package? Or, I know someone who would love to receive a care package.
