Our Mission:

To provide meaningful gifts, essentials, and special experiences to children and teens in foster care.

What We Do:

Entering foster care is a traumatic change for a child. They have been removed from their families, and placed in an unfamiliar home with strangers. To ease their transition, Fostering Kindness anticipates their needs. We provide the following new items in a nice duffel bag or backpack:

Nightlight
Pillow with pillowcase
Cozy blanket
Journal
Coloring/activity book
Crayons/pens
Feminine hygiene supplies
Toiletries and dental hygiene kit
Fidget toys
Stuffed animal

Our Core Values (Be KIND!):

Kids First

Impact Focused

Needs Driven

Diversity Minded

Fostering Kindness promises the following:

Only new items are given.
Gifts will be age-appropriate to the best of our knowledge
Fostering Kindness does not distribute any religiously themed/affiliated items.
We provide gifts for children of all races, gender identities, and sexual orientations. Kindness matters, and our differences are celebrated!
We do not advertise to the children that their gifts come from a charitable organization: no business cards or Fostering Kindness information will appear in any gifts.
