Throughout the year we offer special events! We do a gala in February, a School's Out Picnic in June, a Back to School Party in August, a Boo-tique Bash in October, a Sweets with Santa fundraiser in December, and a Parent's Night Out also in December. Foster Love strives to expand our services by offering these events on top of regular programming.
We are always looking for opportunities for our Foster Love children and families to explore. A few of our current partners are Fashion Arts Collective, Develop Model, Scattered Wings, Scatter Joy Acres, Futbol for the World, and Made New Makerspace. Let us know if you're interested in partnering with us for an event.
Our mobile space went from a dream, to a plan, to hard work, and is now completed!
We are up and running. This studio space is open for mobile shopping and art classes. Reach out if your organization would like to collaborate.
It is not surprising then that within four years of aging out:
These statistics are not okay for the average child in care. Let's come together to help them believe in themselves, fight for their future, and help them so they can beat the odds.
Are you wondering what you can do specifically to help support children in foster care in our community?
Volunteering, donating clothes or funds, hosting collection drives, or becoming a sponsor are great ways to help!
While the name Foster Love has brought us joy and connection, we felt it was time to evolve and embrace a broader vision. We are excited to announce our new name, Foster Heart and Hope, as we believe it better reflects our mission and the essence of what we do.
1. Heart: At the core of our work is the love and compassion we have for the children and families we serve. By incorporating "Heart" into our name, we emphasize the emotional connection and commitment we have to nurturing and supporting those in need. Our hearts are open to all children, and we strive to create a loving environment where they can thrive.
2. Hope: Hope is a powerful force in the lives of the children and families we support. It represents the possibilities for a brighter future and the belief that change is possible. By including "Hope" in our name, we want to inspire everyone in our community to believe in the potential of every child and the trans formative power of love and support.
3. Broader Impact: As we continue to grow and expand our programs, we want our name to reflect the comprehensive approach we take in fostering not just love, but also resilience, support, and opportunity for children and families. Foster Heart and Hope encapsulates our commitment to providing a holistic environment where every child can feel safe, loved, and hopeful for their future.
4. Community Connection: Our new name also reinforces our desire to build a strong community of support. We believe that by fostering hearts and hope, we can create a network of care that extends beyond our organization and into the lives of everyone we touch.
We are grateful for your continued support as we embark on this new chapter. Together, we will continue to foster love, heart, and hope in the lives of children and families in need. Thank you for being a part of our story!
