May is National Foster Care Month and we thought we’d share 10 ways in 10 days you can support kids in care without becoming a foster parent.
Tip #6. Donate school supplies
When August rolls around there is always a push for donated school supplies for underprivileged kids and low income schools. When foster kids are placed in a home in the middle of November or the end of April they still need to go to school and they may not have come with any supplies. Offer to load up a backpack full of supplies for that child.
