Each year, Foster Love Project supports thousands of foster youth and caregivers by providing them with clothing, supplies, and supportive services. By providing essential resources and compassionate support, Foster Love Project stands in the gap to fulfill needs that help foster, kinship, and adopted children feel valued, prepared, and empowered to succeed.
About Foster Love Project
Foster Love Project shows love in action to children impacted by foster and kinship care through the provision of goods, services, and support.
In 2025, Foster Love Project served 4,302 children through seven core programs supporting youth impacted by foster care, kinship care, and adoption. The organization distributed $446,178 in essential goods through its Shopping Center, helping reduce financial strain and improve access to basic needs for families.
Foster Love Project’s reach and capacity have grown significantly. In 2025, the organization distributed 1,980 placement bags through its Bag Drive to 27 partner agencies. It also hosted its second annual in-person fundraiser, Lanes of Love, expanding community engagement and local support.
The Shopping Center provided approximately 1,000 appointments to families, while Excellent Hair Care served more than 500 children with culturally responsive products and education. In 2023, Foster Love Project strengthened Teen Connections by adding a licensed therapist, expanding access to mental health support for youth.
In December 2024, Foster Love Project closed on the purchase of its building, marking a major milestone in long-term stability and organizational growth. Together, these accomplishments reflect strong partnerships, responsive programming, and a growing capacity to serve children and families with dignity and care.

How Support Helps
Direct financial contributions allow Foster Love Project to provide immediate, dignified relief to children entering foster, kinship, or adoptive care. Donor support directly funds the free Shopping Center, where kids and caregivers can shop for essential clothing and shoes, equips youth with culturally responsive products through the Excellent Hair Care program, and expands mental health resources through Teen Connections. Every dollar helps ensure that every child impacted by foster care feels seen, valued, and fully supported.
