Foster Caring and Sharing

With the Pandemic of the COVID-19, now, more than ever, as a society, we can recognize what a disruption to routine can do to our sense of security and mental well-being. As families, we know that this can be a very trying time for our children who do not fully understand what is happening in the world around us. As we better come to understand the hardship that comes along with the uncertainty of tomorrow, we wanted to take the opportunity to equip our community to bless children and young adults (ages 0-18+) in Foster Care who have often experienced that sense of uncertainty for weeks, months, or even years as well as encourage the families who come alongside them by providing them the homes and stability they crave.

How can you help?? Sometimes a little encouragement goes a long ways! We are eager to provide tangible gifts that meet the children’s wants and needs as well as provide families the opportunity to spend time together. This could be anything for children ages 0-18+; things like toys, board/card games, small electronics, and gifts cards for family activities. Foster Caring and Sharing will accept donations and put these items together for distribution to Children in Foster Care in Olmsted County and surrounding communities.

We have a goal of gathering enough items for 150 families, but to meet this goal – we need your help. We will be accepting donations October 1st – November 16th, and hope you feel led to join us in blessing the Foster Children and Families.
