Supporting Foster Families with Clothing, Food, Toys, and More
One of the most common struggles for foster parents is a lack of support as they care for youth who have experienced abuse or neglect. Missouri provides the second lowest stipend for foster parents in the entire US, while Kansas offers the seventh lowest. Without adequate resources, individuals and families sadly find themselves unable to take in children in need of a safe, loving home.

Sammy’s Window provides a wide variety of free items to lift the tangible burden of caring for youth who are in foster care or have been adopted. Through the ongoing help of community donations, FosterAdopt Connect stocks items for all stages of child development. Depending on location, this may include:
- New or gently used, clean clothing
- New or gently used shoes
- New socks and underwear
- Hygiene products
- Diapers
- Formula
- Dry goods
- New or like new books
- New toys
- Baby equipment
- School supplies
