This holiday season, we will be giving pre-made food boxes to foster and adoptive families, kinship care providers, and guardians of children in foster care.
Each food box costs $15 to put together, so we are looking for community donors to "sponsor" a box or two. Every little bit helps.
100% of your donation will go directly to the cost of providing the food boxes.
