September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance
Join us on Thursday, September 11, 2025, as Foster Kids Charity honors the lives and service of those we lost on September 11, 2001. Together, we’ll commemorate this day of reflection and service by assembling 2,977 food bags and kits—one for each victim of that tragic day.
Why We Serve
September 11th is not only Patriot Day but also a National Day of Service and Remembrance. It’s a day when Americans of all ages and backgrounds come together to turn a day of tragedy into one of hope, unity and service to our communities.
By preparing food bags for teens in need, we honor the legacy of those who were lost and embrace the spirit of service that defines this day.

Christmas
Help Us Make the Holidays Magical for Foster Children!
While most people are enjoying summer, at Foster Kids Charity, we’re already planning for 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.
That’s why we start early, and we’re asking you to help us make this year unforgettable.
