Foster Kids Charity

UPDATE: COVID-19

One of the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic is food insecurity among foster family households. Food insecurity occurs when a household has difficulty providing enough food due to a lack of resources. A large portion of the families we serve (including foster families, adoptive families, or kinship families) report having insufficient funds to purchase food or items for the children they foster or adopt. Please keep in mind that we are serving a large amount of kinship families. Most requested Items include food, gift cards for food delivery services, and diapers / wipes. Please contact us if you would like to donate any of these items so we can provide them to families in need.

Vision

The vision of Foster Kids Charity is to improve the well-being of children while they are in foster care and to educate volunteers about the foster care system. With increased well-being and awareness, we hope to achieve our goal of increasing the number of adoptions for foster children.

Mission

Foster Kids Charity strives to make sure that every child in the foster care system has their basic, personal needs met. This is accomplished by providing foster children in Texas with basic emergency items: food, clothes, hygienic products, school supplies and more.

The purpose of the September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance is to transform the anniversary of 9/11 from a day of tragedy into a day of doing well.

Honoring the Victims of 9/11

The September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance or 9/11 Day is a federally-recognized National Day of Service that happens in the United States on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. We want to honor the victims of this tragedy, and celebrate the hero's who had courage and in turn lost their lives.

Preparing Food Bags for Foster Children

To honor this day as well as Foster Kids Charity's 10th year of service, Foster Kids Charity sets a goal to prepare 9,000 snack bags to honor those who lost their lives on this day. Our 9,000 food bags will be distributed to foster children in state care, in court, and in child welfare agencies.

TESTIMONIALS

James and Marlene Rose, Foster Parent

"I wanted to thank you for everything you have done to support us for all these years.

I wish I could express all you mean to me and Marlene. If we had not of connected I know the miracles that we saw in the lives of children would have never been possible. You have truly blessed us and we are grateful that God allowed us to have you be a part of our lives".

John Berry, Foster Parent

"The work that you are doing for the benefit of these children is invaluable. I cannot express our gratitude in words that give it any justice. While we may be working with the kids, the support from Foster Kids Charity has helped us be able to make sure that these children are able to do more things that enrich their lives! "

Anonymous Testimonial 2020

"Just wanted to thank you. You provided a laptop to one of my CPS clients last August as he was trying to do all his high school classes on a tablet. He was a year behind and refusing to attend regular school. Good news, he graduated this week! He would not have been as successful without the laptop! And better news, he plans to go on to a junior college! So, thank you very very much!!! You changed a life!"
