Foster
Children
We support local kids in foster care with what they need to succeed. For emergency placements we have diapers, wipes, formula, baby food, blankets, and clothing. After a child is placed with foster parents or reunified, we continue to help meet their many needs.
Foster
Parents
We support the needs of both experienced and new foster parents. Providing resources to help with the many challenges a foster parent faces. Not only for the child’s emotional and physical needs. But also, medical, safety, transportation, court and school must be considered.
Bio-Family
Reunification
The best outcome for any foster child is to be reunited with their biological family. We celebrate when a family is reunified after birth parents learn good parenting skills. Overcoming the issues that resulted in their children entering foster care.
Foster Family Sharing Center
Our Sharing Center relies on donations to provide FREE items to help those in the local Foster Care System. We provide foster children and families baby needs, children’s clothing, toys, furniture and more.
Thank You to our Sponsors, Donors and everyone that attended our 1st Annual Casino Night on August 19th. You made this fundraiser a huge success that will help many Foster kids and families!

Let The Numbers Speak
Accomplishments since beginning Volusia County foster services in 2021.
For foster parents and families, we help with gently used and inspected bedding for their foster children. Also, assisting with safe and reliable car seats, providing safety kits to help them babyproof/toddler proof their home. When a family is reunified, we offer welcome home care packages. After family reunification, we help the biological parents get new clothing, shoes, and bedding. Helping give their kids a fresh start.
It is our priority that all kids coming into a new foster home receive a care package. We provide Infants a security blanket, new pacifier, and a warm blanket. For toddlers, stuffed animals and a blanket. School aged kids recieve a stuffed animal, blanket, dental hygiene kit, hairbrush, and a journal to write in. Finally, for teens their needs are met on a case by case basis. It is our mission to assist everyone in our local foster community with fast and reliable services.
