The Holiday Gift Drive is Fostering Wishes’ signature program, designed to bring joy and warmth to foster children during the holiday season. Each year, we collaborate with businesses and the community to provide gifts, ensuring every foster child receives something special just for them. But the gifts represent more than material items—they carry a message that these children are remembered, valued, and cared for, even in challenging times. The Holiday Gift Drive offers more than presents; it fosters hope, connection, and a sense of belonging, making the holidays brighter for hundreds of foster children each year.
The Duffle Bag Program gives foster children a sense of dignity and ownership during difficult transitions. Foster children often move between homes with little notice, and many must use trash bags to carry their belongings. This program provides sturdy duffle bags filled with essential items like clothing, toiletries, and comfort items, helping them feel prepared and valued during uncertain times. Beyond the practical items, the duffle bags offer stability and respect, showing foster children that they deserve more than a trash bag—they deserve care, no matter the circumstances.
