Our Foster Kids
Christmas 2020
2020 Angel Trees
Due to Covid-19, we won’t be able to put up our beautiful Angel Trees this year.
All of our donations will need to come directly from you–our community members who are looking to make a child’s Christmas wonderful.
Much of the activity and information for the foster children is on our Facebook page HERE.
One of the best ways to ensure that we have what we need to meet the needs of local foster children AND provide them with a joyous Christmas is to make a regularly monthly donation. We are a registered non-profit corporation so your donation is tax deductible. Plus, there’s the added bonus of the feel-good factor–you know that feeling you get when you feel good because you did something to help someone else, especially if that someone is a child? It really does feel good!
Here’s How You Can Help
They say it takes a village to raise a child. This is especially true for the most vulnerable of the children in our community–foster children. The mission of Our Foster Kids is simply to enhance the life of each foster child in our community by addressing some of their unfunded needs. Additionally, we will address the needs of ANY child we can with the intent of promoting self-esteem so that they may grow to reach their fullest potential.
In this endeavor, we welcome support from caring community members like you. Here are a few more ways that you can help us build a better community for everyone starting with our children.

Monetary Donations
Monetary donations are always welcome. Seasonal and one-time donations help provide for specific needs for foster children.
Monthly and support is appreciated to ensure the needs of the foster children are met on an on-going basis. The needs don’t go away–foster kids always need additional support.
Our team is here to make sure that they get what they need that is not necessarily covered by DHS or their foster parents.

Volunteer
At Christmas, we need helpers during the day or evening hours 5-7 days a week. If you, or a group you represent or manage, would like to volunteer there is sure to be a time and place where a couple of hours on your part will bring joy to a child for possibly even a whole year or more!
Donate
Having a successful Christmas means being diligent all year about collecting gifts and securing donations. Maybe your schedule doesn’t allow you the time to volunteer but you still want to contribute to the joy of a child, your donation of a gift or cash is gratefully accepted.
