September 1 – December 9
Give Joy this holiday season! Kids in foster care hurt during the holidays, but gifts help give joy. Last year, FosterAdopt Connect provided gifts to over 1,500 children at Christmas time. With the generosity of donors like you fulfilling a child’s wish list, foster kids can have happier childhoods.
IMPORTANT DATES
DONOR SIGN-UP: September 1 – December 9

Family sign-ups coming soon!
You can make a difference in the life of a child in our community this holiday season through one of the options listed below
Request to be matched with a child and we will send you their personal wish list for the holidays. We ask that donors spend at least $100 on each child they are matched to. (If you are signing up on behalf of your organization, we will email the list to the person signing up. You can then distribute the lists as you see fit.)
Host a Gift Drive or a Gift Card Drive! Host a drive to collect toys and teen items for children who may be coming into care at the last minute and we don’t have the opportunity to match with a family. Lots of our teens enjoy having the opportunity to go shopping and pick out what they love, which makes gift card drives a great option as well.
Shop from our Amazon Wish List! We are constantly in need of supplemental gifts and also strive to serve youth who may just be entering care. You can “click and ship” to take all the work out of having to shop in store and drop off gifts!
