Colorado Foster Care License Plate

In partnership with Adams County, our license plate initiative will help generate a small (but incredibly needed) sustainable revenue source to raise awareness about the shortage of foster families in Colorado and support existing foster families across the state. We are seeking 3,500 signatures to solidify in-law a special license plate option for foster parents, former foster children and non-foster residents alike that will show support for our Colorado foster system.

Host a Gift Card Drive

Gift cards are lifesavers for foster families! Cards to Walmart, Target or the grocery store help foster families with last minute supplies when a new child comes. Cards to restaurants help feed the children on those busy nights when children have several appointments after school like therapy sessions, parental visits, etc. Cards to coffee shops help foster parents make it through tough days and help them remember that they are valued. Any demonination is appreciated. This is a great activity for corporate or school groups.

Host a Diaper Drive

Children from traumatic backgrounds often have physical challenges due to emotional trauma in their history. This can sometimes mean that they potty train later than their peers. We always need diapers, particularly in sizes 4,5,6 and pull ups in all sizes. This is a great activity for corporate or school groups!
