DRIVES HELD IN 2023

  • Help us fill our bins with items needed for our welcome bags. A welcome bag is a bag that a child receives when they first enter foster care. The bag contains all of the items a child would need such as hygiene items, socks, underwear, pajamas, shoes, a blanket and a book. Last year we gave out over 400 welcome bags to children affected by the foster care system.
