…Because Foster Parents Have Enough On Their Plate
Without Having To Wash Them Too. 

2017 MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

• GOAL: 10,000 Paper Plates and Cups
• COLLECTED: Over 20,000 Plates and Cups
• Over 550 Families positively impacted
• 5 foster care agencies adequately resourced

Imagine Getting 3 Pre-schoolers in Diapers Placed in Your Home in the Middle of the Night and Your Stress Level Sky-Rocketing…

Rarely do foster parents have time to prepare for the children being placed in their home. The parents would LOVE to be able to sit down for the first couple of days and lavish attention on kiddos who are traumatized. However, there are groceries to buy, forms to fill out, doctor appointments to setup, clothes, cribs, toiletries and more to secure for the home – the list goes on. When are the caregivers going to get a few minutes to spend with the child?!

Disposable Dinnerware Drive for Foster Parents

Most foster parents are like you and me… environmentally conscious and hardworking. However, many professionals suggest that ordering pizza and using paper plates is necessary the first 2-3 weeks of a placement to help reduce stress and allow for a few extra minutes for the parent to take a breather while the whole family adjusts to changes. This also allows a bit more time for foster parents to bond and connect with a child by reading a book or playing games.
