We could use donations of gently used baby & toddler furniture, equipment & toys to help new foster families to get set up, as well as household furnishings for foster teens who "age out' of care at age 18. After age 18, there is a program called Foster Care to College Mentoring and it's purpose is to match mentors with foster youth who are planning to go to college. Volunteers are needed.
We try to encourage foster families to keep up with turning in paper work (a necessary but monotonous procedure) by holding a monthly raffle. Families get a ticket for each item of paperwork that they submit. If anyone has something to contribute, it would be very helpful (we don’t have a budget for purchasing prizes). An extra special idea would be to offer the use of a vacation home/time share to a family with extraordinary circumstance, subject to the discretion of the donor.
