We aim to provide every child going through a traumatic transition in our community with their basic needs, so that they can shamelessly enter their new placement home with their very own clothing, shoes, seasonal gear (boots, coats, hat & gloves), bathroom and hygienic supplies, towels, and bed sheets—all packed in a new, blue duffel bag that we also provide. Though most of our clothing is gently used (except socks and underwear), everything else we provide, from shoes to hair spray to bed sheets, is brand new. 

We also offer supplemental supplies depending on the need and situation, such as racially-diverse hair care products, lice kits, professional grade, melt-away dryer bags for bed bug concerns, diapers, wipes, formula, and gift cards, if we don’t have something on hand.

In addition, we also desire to provide critical items that the placement home or family may be in need of—bed frames, mattresses, changing tables, and more.

Our simple desire is to meet any and all immediate need in order to help ease the stress of the traumatic transition for both the children and the placement family. Though we began as a foster ministry for St. Joseph County, Michigan, we have now been able to expand to offer our services to families of various types of placements, including guardianship and kinship, and we are available now for children of Cass County, Michigan.
