Summer Support & Sunshine: June Updates from Foster Hearts

As we step into the heart of summer, Foster Hearts is buzzing with activity—and we couldn’t do it without the incredible support of our community!

👕 Summer Shopping in Full Swing

Our Foster Hearts Store is fully stocked with summer essentials—think swimsuits, sandals, sunscreen, sunglasses, and more. Caregivers can shop by appointment or use our personal shopper option if getting to the store is tough. Every item is free to families currently caring for children in foster or kinship care. Need something specific for summer visits or outings? We’re here to help!

🎒 Back-to-School Prep Begins

It may be sunny outside, but we’re already planning for back-to-school! Our annual school supply drive is underway, and we’re collecting backpacks, lunch boxes, and classroom supplies to make sure every child starts the year prepared and proud. Want to help? Donations and supply drop-offs are welcome all month long.

🎉 Fun 4 Fosters: Summer Moments that Matter

Our Fun 4 Fosters program is bringing smiles this season! From zoo trips to movie days to park meet-ups, we’re offering ways for kids to simply be kids. These little breaks mean the world to children navigating tough transitions—and we’re so grateful to our volunteers and sponsors who help make these memories possible.

💙 How You Can Support This Summer

  • Donate new summer gear or school supplies

  • Sponsor a child’s back-to-school backpack

  • Volunteer to help sort donations or host a collection drive

  • Spread the word to foster families about our services

🌟 Thank You

July is a time of warmth, growth, and community—and thanks to you, Foster Hearts continues to be a place of comfort and dignity for children in care. Whether you’ve given time, donated items, or shared our mission, thank you for standing with us.

Stay cool and stay kind,
The Foster Hearts Team
