May is National Foster Care Month
May is National #FosterCareMonth! This year’s theme, “Engaging Youth. Building Supports. Strengthening Opportunities.” will raise awareness about authentic youth engagement, the importance of life-long connections, and how to best support youth as they transition out of foster care.
We keep an Amazon wishlist of our most needed items and sizes. This provides an easy way to support our youth in foster care.

aboutus
Foster Pantry was founded by foster parents who knew first-hand the need for support and resources for our local foster care community. They quickly learned that they were surrounded by a community who wanted to help but wasn't quite sure how. They made it their mission to educate the community on ways they could help provide the caregivers and children in foster care with essential needs and resources to ease the transitions of our local foster children.

It means a lot to know that someone is thinking about us and is proud of what we accomplished.

How did I miss knowing about the Foster Pantry? They are amazing and I know XXX will love everything they have provided for him. They went well above what I had requested. The whole process was very easy and they had it to me within a day!

My husband and I became licensed about 10 months ago. When we got our first placement call it was for an infant and we had about 8 hours to prepare. Luckily not only did Foster Pantry provide essential items like a crib, diapers, formula and clothes but they also provided me with a wealth of informaiton. And their support has continued to this day with any need I have had.

I reached out to Foster Pantry regarding a birth parent that was working hard to have three children return home. They invited the birth parent to come by and shop for items needed for the children as well as provided new toys for birthday presents for one of the children. The Foster Pantry is a much needed resource for our foster parents, kinship caregivers, and birth families.

Foster Pantry has been a blessing from the moment I found out my grandbabies would be coming to live with me. They were able to find me a bed, crib,and were able to provide me with everything I needed for the baby. They continue to help out with clothing as the babies grow.
