When a foster or kinship family gets the call to take in a new child, often the family will not have the appropriate clothing or supplies for the new placement. It is usually a rush to get what is needed, or finding a local agency if there is one that can assist with the needs. Many times, the children are placed with only the clothes on their backs. We also know that when a youth is aging out, they may be faced with challenges where some help is needed, but may find it difficult to ask. No matter what the circumstance, we want to be a source of help.
Through our Pantry, we offer hygiene items, non- perishable foods, baby formula and other necessities. We also have some ability to be able to provide fresh foods and dairy when needed. Non-Perishable Food items are always appreciated and accepted along with grocery gift cards to help with fresh necessities (milk, eggs, etc) and to provide to families and to aged out youth when the need arises.
We also carry an array of clothing, undergarments, shoes, activities, therapeutic items and other needed supplies at no cost to the foster and kinship families as well as those that have aged out of the system. We have an amazing community that cares and all of our items have been donated by members, companies, churches and other organizations throughout the community.
While we do LOVE all our donations, we are very particular about the donations we accept. This is so that the children, teens and young adults we serve receive things that make them feel valued and dignified. We don’t want them to feel embarrassed by what they have to wear or use. The goal is to make them feel cared for, loved and appreciated.
To make arrangments for a donation of physical items or as a caregiver, you have a need after hours, we can be reached by text or phone call at 336-567-9387 and by email at info@fosteringfaithfoundation.org. Our office is located at 3540 Clemmons Rd. Suite 125, Clemmons, NC 27012
