Foster Care - Activity Pack Drive
You think it's hard being confined at home with
YOUR OWN KIDS?
Imagine this time with someone else's kids who have likely been neglected, abused or you might not know at all - with limited resources...
Join us in creating activity packs to bring some light, joy and relief to our local foster families.
We've curated some ideas below, but you and your family can get creative in creating fun activity packs for any age or interest.
If you're not feeling inspired, we are also accepting art supplies, puzzles, games, musical instruments, diapers and wipes.
We'll coordinate pickups to make everything easy and safe, so get to work and let's make some kids (and foster parents)
happy today!
