How We Work

Supporting Foster and Kinship Care Families with Essentials

At Foster Care Essentials, we believe no child in foster or kinship care should go without the basic necessities that help them feel safe, comfortable, and supported. That’s why we’ve designed multiple ways to connect families with the items they need.

Attend Our Events

We host a variety of special events throughout the year, including the Summer Footwear/Foster Care Resource Fair, the Fill-A-Backpack Event, and the Winter Wear Event. These gatherings provide a meaningful opportunity to connect with our community while ensuring you have access to the support and resources you need.

Schedule an Appointment

If you need assistance outside of our events, you can schedule an appointment to visit our location. Our team will help you select items that meet your family’s specific needs. If we don’t have an item you are looking for, please let us know and we’ll do our best to get it for you.
