10 Children

We are thrilled to invite you to our annual back-to-school event on July 26th, 2025! This special occasion is dedicated to supporting our foster children and families in the community who may be facing financial challenges.

Our heartfelt goal is to provide 1,000 beautifully filled book bags with essential school supplies that empower these children to thrive in their education. By reaching this milestone, we can help alleviate the burden of back-to-school shopping and ensure that every child has the necessary tools to succeed.

We are seeking donations and support for school supplies tailored for elementary, middle, and high school students, including:

  • Pens and pencils
  • Calculators
  • Crayons and colored pencils
  • Erasers and pencil holders
  • Notebook paper and ABC tracing books
  • Highlighters and composition tablets
  • -3- and 5-subject notebooks
  • Scissors and glue

Your generosity can make a profound difference in the lives of these children, providing them with not just school supplies but also a sense of belonging and encouragement as they embark on their educational journey.

Any assistance you can offer, whether in the form of supplies or donations, would be received with immense gratitude. Together, we can create a brighter future for our youth.

Thank you for your consideration and support!

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

We have a very young aunt and uncle fostering their nephew while raising 4 other children of their own (including an infant). The family is working on back-to-school needs for the children. Between uniforms and school supplies, and now the hot summer months making their OGE bill go up, the family is needing assistance. Keeping the house cool for the family during the summer is difficult, but any funds that can be given are so helpful for the family. If you can give anything towards this bill, please reach out to us. Thank you!
