Help provide free clothing and toys to children in foster care and relative care homes

Save to Favorites

Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10am to 5pm

Volunteers and special project volunteer groups, team building opportunities and coordinated school groups or mission trips from out of state may be arranged by emailing vol@fostercares.org with requests.

Volunteers do some of the following at the Foster Care Support Distribution Center depending on the tasks at hand for the day.

• Sort clothing, size or restock the center for easy selection by foster children.
• Play with babies and toddlers in the nursery while foster parents select their needed items (no diaper changing or trips to the bathroom with children allowed by sitters: best way to babysit). Foster parents must do this.
• Wash, put together or take apart infant equipment to make sure all is safe and in excellent condition to be used by a foster child.
• Sort toys and make sure all pieces are there(puzzles, games, etc,) Regular volunteers can learn the process of sorting and distribution to children and help in the toy room.
• Battery check toys to make sure they work.
• Clean outside toys and check bikes to make sure tires and brakes are good.
• Mow grass and do yard work.
• Move bags to/from storage.
• Do crafts with foster children ages 4 to 10. Please check for an available date. If you are bringing a craft, you must get it approved first.
• Load bags of clothing and toys and bikes into foster parents' cars on appointment days.
• Check incoming cribs, strollers and infant equipment to make sure they are safe for distribution.
• Fill orders for children living too far away to come themselves, pack them and get them ready for shipping.
