Our Impact
While we work toward purchasing and opening a transition home, Foster House Project is supporting the Madison County Foster & Adoptive Parent Association’s care-bag effort for children entering foster care in Madison County.
The Need Right Now
Children entering foster care may arrive with only the clothes they are wearing or a small bag of belongings. While a foster or kinship placement is arranged, they may need clean clothes, hygiene items, food, and something familiar to hold onto.
Our Partnership with MCFAPA
Foster House Project partners with the Madison County Foster & Adoptive Parent Association (MCFAPA) to help provide care bags with new clothing, hygiene items, and age-appropriate essentials for children entering care.
MCFAPA has led this work for years and regularly needs more supplies. FHP helps bring in new items so care bags are available when children need them.
What this support provides
Donations help MCFAPA stock care bags with practical items such as pajamas, duffle bags, hygiene supplies, and other age-appropriate essentials. These items are prepared for children entering foster care in Madison County.
How to Support This Work
There are two ways to support this work:
-
Shop our Amazon registry — Choose specific items for care bags through our Amazon registry.
-
Donate to our Zeffy fund — Gifts to the Foster Care Essentials Drive purchase items for care bags.
