Our first call as foster parents was for a newborn baby. At the time, we were better set up for preschool and elementary aged kids. We had less than 24 hours to get everything we needed to bring the little guy home. We ended up at Target buying over $500 worth of baby supplies that night. These Target runs were almost daily for the next couple of weeks while we tried to figure out a newborn baby. Fortunately, we had the finances available to do this, but what if we hadn’t?

This is the gap Foster the Family fills. By maintaining a library of big ticket items, we aim to provide a way for foster families to get what they need without having to spend a dime. This opens up the doors to say yes to more calls. We also aim to provide a Cozy Case full of supplies to help get through the first couple of days to children in new foster placements.
