Here at Foster Kids Charity, we’re already planning for Thanksgiving & Christmas—because making the holidays special for hundreds of foster children takes time, love and community support.

Each year, we serve foster youth across Dallas-Fort Worth—children who have experienced abuse, neglect, and instability. Many will spend the holidays away from their families, and for some, it may be their first Christmas in care.

Foster Kids Charity serves 112 families this Thanksgiving. Each family will receive:

• $100 gift card (for groceries or household needs)
   
• Frozen turkey
   
• A holiday non-perishables box containing staples such as mashed potato mix, stuffing mix, gravy mix, cranberry sauce, canned vegetables, canned yams, pie filling/pumpkin, and other baking & side items.

Why we need your help now: we want every family to have a warm, nourishing holiday meal and a small measure of stability. Your cash gifts let us buy gift cards and fresh/frozen items reliably and quickly.

Your generosity will benefit:

• Foster children ages 0–21
   
• Foster parents and kinship caregivers
   
• Teens aging out of care
   
• Former foster youth who are survivors of domestic violence
   
• Families served by the Dallas Permanency Court
   
• Foster-to-adopt agencies across DFW

Every year we collect wish lists for the families we serve. Donors may choose a child’s wish list and coordinate delivery directly to the child or the agency (direct delivery is strongly encouraged).

• Choose from available wish lists (clothing sizes, requested items, preferred retailers). List of children will be available on November 1st, 2025
   
• Coordinate drop-off directly with the family’s caseworker or through our website contact form so gifts arrive safely and on time.
