Does the thought of a child carrying around their personal belongings in a trash bag break your heart? Do you want to help restore the dignity in a child’s life and let them know someone cares for them?
Children often enter foster care with few or no personal items and many foster parents are given limited time to prepare for the arrival of a child placed in their home. The first nights can be hectic and stressful for children and foster families. Our intention is to make this transition easier for all.
Our First Night Program is designed to help meet the basic needs of children during their first nights in care as well as support foster families when accepting new placements.
First Night Bags are reusable, overnight bags that are filled with clothing and hygiene essentials and are given to children as they enter care.
First Night Meals supports foster families by providing meals and restaurant gift cards to help with the transition.
If you are interested in donating items for First Nights Bags please view our First Nights Bag List below.
