Food 4 Fosters
Filling Hearts and Bellies in Foster Care
Snacks play a crucial role for children awaiting placement in DCYF offices or during visits with their parents. During these stressful and uncertain moments, having access to familiar, nourishing snacks can provide a sense of comfort, stability, and care. A simple snack can ease anxiety, lift spirits, and help children feel seen and supported while they wait. By meeting this basic need, we create a more welcoming, compassionate environment for kids navigating incredibly challenging circumstances.
