Foster Placement Bags with Foster Erie

Description

When children get placed into foster care, they often do not have anything of their own. We will be inspecting placement bags for children entering the foster system, which are filled with toiletries and toys for the kids, ensuring they are safe for a child in need. Please help us with spread kindness to area foster children with Foster Erie! Volunteers will get a FREE YEP t-shirt. 

Foster Erie DBA Erie County Resource Family Organization is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that desires to bring foster care awareness to the Erie community. On any given day in Erie County, there are approximately 400 children in out-of-home care. These children have been removed from their homes for their own safety for multiple reasons, all of which are hard and traumatic for the children. Foster Erie works with the children, foster families, and the Erie community to provide opportunities of support and encouragement. Foster Erie believes that, by connecting the community to foster care, it will not only inspire new foster families but also retain current ones.
