New Jersey Angels believes that not everyone is called to foster or adopt, but everyone can make a difference in a child's life, and one of the ways we hope to do that is through our Love Box program. The Love Box program provides fostering families (caregivers, children in foster care, and biological/adopted children) with community and holistic support. As a Love Box group, you will be matched with a local foster family based on location, compatibility, and scope of needs. When our families are matched with committed volunteers who show up monthly, parents feel supported and children gain a greater sense of normalcy, relational permanency, and self confidence.
We have a family of six in Williamstown eagerly waiting to be matched with a caring volunteer! Mom and Dad have two older children-a 10-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl-and are also the kinship guardians of twin toddlers, a boy and a girl.
The family is seeking relational support with activities like babysitting, tutoring, trips to the library, playdates, and creating opportunities for Mom and Dad to enjoy a much-needed date night. They could also benefit from practical assistance with items such as diapers, household supplies, and groceries.
Additionally, Mom would love to connect with a supportive friend to share her fostering journey.
Your support could make a meaningful difference in their lives!

Mission Statement
"To walk alongside children, youth, and families in the foster care community by offering consistent support through intentional giving, relationship building, and mentorship."
Description
New Jersey Angels wraps community around children in the foster care system, as well as their caretakers, by offering consistent support through intentional giving, relationship building, and mentorship. We accomplish this through our Love Box Program (which matches dedicated volunteers with foster families who are in need of community support), as well as our Dare to Dream Program (which offers an opportunity to mentor an aged-out or at-risk-to-age-out foster youth ranging from 11-22 years old).
