Foster the Love has 6 programs that support both foster children and the caregivers that take them in. Our goal is to support children who are at risk of being placed in foster care or in foster care through each stage of their journey. This includes a boutique style closet where families can shop for free and a First Night Bag room. Our First Night Bag room provides not only bags with hygiene essentials and comfort items for children coming into foster care but also diapers, formula, and underclothes to assist family who are working to stay together. We supply families with mattresses and cribs to keep sibling sets together and an overnight room for children to sleep, get cleaned up, and get snacks when they come into care and have nowhere to be placed. Throughout the year we also host events for foster and adoptive families, renting out event centers to allow children and caregivers alike a safe space to play, share, and experience life together.
