Donation Centers: Our welcoming Donation Centers supports children, teens, and families connected to the foster care system. Open year-round, these resource hubs provide essential items such as new clothing, toiletries, infant supplies, and bath and bedding essentials, helping families navigate transitions with dignity and care. Your contributions make a meaningful impact on their journey forward.

Luggage Donations: New and gently used luggage, including duffle bags, provides children and teens in foster care with dignity and stability during transitions. Gently used luggage should be in excellent condition—clean, fully functional, and free from damage such as broken zippers, handles, or tears.

New Clothes Matter: Every child deserves to feel seen, cherished, and confident, and new clothes play a vital role in fostering these feelings. With your support, we can make a meaningful difference for children in DC's Foster Care System. Join New Clothes Matter Donation Drive to help provide children aged 5-12 with the clothing they need to feel their best. Together, we can create a lasting impact!

Snack Packs: Snack packs are small care packages filled with snacks, quick meals like mac and cheese or noodles, fruit cups, and juice boxes. They offer comfort and sustenance to children and teens in foster care during tough times. Including affirmations, notes, or gift cards to places like Chipotle, Subway, or McDonald’s makes them extra special. This is a meaningful project for kids, groups, or individual donors, offering an opportunity to spread joy and care to children in need.

Back to School: Help our scholars succeed by donating school supplies for elementary, middle, high school, and college students.

College Care Packages: The power of college care packages for foster youth is beyond the tangible items, it's a beacon of hope and support. Each care package symbolizes love and recognition, showing youth in foster care they are valued and remembered. Join us in building a stronger community and helping these remarkable scholars feel a sense of belonging by becoming a sponsor. Click here to explore the wish list of our scholars and their schools. Let's make a difference together!

Home Starter Kits: For a child raised in foster care the transition to adulthood can be difficult. You can help give foster youth a New Start in their New Home by sponsoring Home Starter Kits.
