Mid-Year Gratitude: Celebrating Community Impact This July

As we move through the sunny days of July, we’re taking a moment to reflect—and say thank you. The first half of the year has been filled with meaningful moments, and it’s all thanks to the heart and generosity of this incredible community.

📦 Over 300 Children Served—And Counting

Thanks to your donations, volunteer hours, and support, Foster Hearts has provided essentials to over 300 children in foster and kinship care so far this year. From clothing and baby gear to hygiene kits and comfort items, every single donation has helped a child feel valued, seen, and supported.

🌈 Real Help for Real Families

Whether it's a grandparent stepping in unexpectedly, a foster parent welcoming a new placement overnight, or a social worker needing emergency supplies—we’ve been there to meet the need. This is what Foster Hearts is all about: being ready when families need us most.

🛍️ Your Support Makes This Possible

Here’s what your impact looks like:

• 💼 37 backpacks given to children moving placements

• 🍼 94 care kits distributed

• 🎁 41 children received personal shopper support

• 🎽 Hundreds of clothing items provided—each one a dignity-preserving gift

🔧 Behind the Scenes

We’re also working hard behind the scenes:

• Our Foster Hearts Store is running by appointment, with personalized help for each family.

• Volunteers are sorting and organizing donations with care.

• We’re collaborating with social workers, agencies, and local partners to make sure no child falls through the cracks.

🌟 Looking Ahead

As we prepare for back-to-school season, your continued support is more important than ever. You can help by:

• Hosting a supply drive

• Donating new clothes or gift cards

• Spreading the word to others who may want to help or benefit

We may be halfway through the year, but we’re just getting started. Together, we’re making sure that every child in foster care knows they matter.

With heartfelt thanks,
The Foster Hearts Team
