Unfortunately, for some of our kids, this is a reality. Every year, we provide over 600 Christmas stockings and gifts to children in foster care, letting them know that Santa did not forget about them!
Here's how you can help!
Buy and fill a stocking or a few, attach a toy, gift, or gift card.
No need to wrap items. Don't forget to add Christmas candy.
Do a drive at work, school, church, or your group.
Call or email us to see how you can have an even bigger impact!
