Foster Love Project provides tangible support to children impacted by foster care throughout the Pittsburgh region. This includes a free shopping center, teen mentoring program, hair care support, a Back 2 School event, Family Support Weekend, annual bag drive and an Angel Tree holiday gift program.
Foster Love Project shows love in action to children impacted by foster and kinship care through the provision of goods, services and support.
More About Foster Love Project
When kids arrive at our free shopping center for the first time, they often feel uncertain and anxious—worried they’ll have to choose from clothes that don’t reflect their style or help them fit in with their peers. But the moment they step through the doors and see racks of brand-new clothing from stores and brands they recognize, their shoulders drop in relief. They quickly realize this is a place where they are seen, valued, and cared for.
How Can You Help
Foster Love Project offers many ongoing opportunities to get involved. This holiday season, there are two special ways to make an impact. You can pack a bag of essentials for a child entering a new home (see our website for the full contents list) or grant a wish through our Angel Tree Gift Program (details available on our website). For those who may like to host a community drive, we can provide a wishlist of items needed to keep our shelves stocked. And as always, financial donations help us respond quickly to the many requests for support we receive throughout the year
Foster Love Project serves more than 3,000 youth each year through our seven programs. Without the support of our community, we would not be able to provide this amount of goods, support and services. Financial donations allow us to ensure our shelves can always be stocked, community drives meet very tangible needs and our bag drive participants ensure that foster youth receive care from their first moments of entering a new home
