Welcome Pack Program
When you donate items from our list of needs, they will be available directly to those caring for children in the central Texas foster care system. We organize basic necessities, clothes, new undergarments, socks, toothbrushes, and some wish list items into Welcome Packs for each child who come into care, along with supplying families with larger new items such as beds, cribs, and car seats. When available, we also include thoughtful donations- in the form of gift certificates or discount cards- from local businesses that want to support and uplift foster families and children. Your monetary and tangible donations are making a significant impact in the lives of these children and the families caring for them.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO PURCHASE ITEMS THAT WE ARE IN GREATEST NEED OF FOR CHILDREN ENTERING FOSTER CARE, THEY CAN ALSO BE DELIVERED DIRECTLY TO US VIA AMAZON:

Please join our Waco Foster Swap group on Facebook if you are interested in donating items to local foster families that we may not have space for in our Care Closet.
We want the children who receive your donations to know that they are truly valued, so we prefer that donations are in new or like new condition- similar to items you would see in a children’s consignment store.
We value quality over quantity.
We are exceedingly grateful when donations come to us washed and sorted as it allows us more time to distribute to the children who need them.
