PJ Day Printable PDF Flyer

In just a few short hours, a child entering foster care can lose everything: their parents, their home, their school, their siblings, their toys and even their clothes. Although a simple pair of pajamas doesn’t seem like much to you and me, for one of the 1,400 children, in our area, who enter foster care every day, they offer the gift of comfort and hope on the first night in their new home.

Foster Hope is challenging your church to host a PJ Day on April 22nd, to raise awareness and collect spring/summer pajamas for children in foster care. We also encourage you to make this day extra special by allowing kids to wear their pajamas to church or inviting one of our guest speakers. The church that collects the most pajamas will receive a pizza party!

Request Care Kits

By fosterhope  //  Request Kits  //  Comments Off

How do our Care Kits actually get to foster kids?  We partner with local foster agencies, who keep them on hand in their offices, so as kids enter or transition in foster care, Care Kits are always ready for them to receive!

Agencies:  Request Care Kits

CLICK HERE TO REQUEST REPLACEMENT OF DISTRIBUTED CARE KITS

Agencies:  Please note our new Care Kit request policy.

-          Care Kits can only be requested online.

-          A full set of kits will be only be given to an agency one time, each season.

-          After the initial full set, you just need to request replacement kits, as needed.  Be sure to request a new kit each time you give one out, so you can always have one of every size on hand.

-          In order to request a replacement kit, you must have basic information about who you handed the last kit out to.  This information is vital to ensure that Care Kits continue to be available.  Below is a link to a handy spreadsheet that you can print off and keep on a clip board near your Care Kit tubs so you can log the information each time you hand them out.

-          Replacement Care Kits can be picked up from our office on Wednesday’s between 10:00am and 3:00pm.  Our office address is 4029 Lapeer Road  Burton, MI 48509.
