Collection Drives
The Foster Alliance utilizes community support for collection drives and in-kind donations as it is an extremely important component of our operation. Below is a complete list of our on-going collection drives and in-kind donations, and we are always open to your ideas or suggestions! We are happy to provide you with a collection drive box as well.
- Back to School Drive – The Foster Alliance provides backpacks filled with school supplies year-round, giving children in foster care the tools they need to succeed. It also is an opportunity to fit in, have a fresh start, and create confidence that can last a lifetime.
- Birthday Party in a Bag Drive – Oftentimes, children in foster care have never had the opportunity to celebrate a birthday. A Birthday Party in a Bag provides a child with a celebration to accompany the gifts we provide.
- Book Drive – Each year, The Foster Alliance promotes literacy by providing thousands of books to children in foster care.
- Clothing Drive – Children in foster care often leave home with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Each year, The Foster Alliance provides 4,000+ children in foster care with a fresh start and essential items, like clothing.
