Give Children and Families the Support They Need to Thrive
We partner with people like you to meet the emergent and ongoing needs of children who are at risk of coming into, are already in, or are aging out of foster care.
When social workers identify the critical needs of vulnerable children, we meet those needs with items we call FosterLove. With your help, they can get clothing, diapers, toiletries, bedding, and other basic necessities.
There are multiple ways for you to get involved to tangibly meet these needs.
“TAK's biggest impact is simply their ability and readiness to respond timely during emergencies.”
— Shatina M., Department of Children’s Services

“We wanted to collaborate with an organization whose main direction was centered around the care of children that are sometimes overlooked or forgotten. Gratefully, as a result of our joint effort, our members have been able to dedicate hundreds of hours to supporting this crucially important cause.”
— Cindi H., National Charity League
Make It A Very Merry Christmas For Foster Families
You can bring Christmas joy to foster children and their families at the “Annual Very Merry Christmas Parade”.
With your support, we are able to hand out gifts and goodies to more than 150 foster families as they drive through the parade route. Plus, items from our Amazon Toy Drive are given out as wrapped gifts from Santa.
Help us care for these deserving families by hosting a booth or purchasing toys from our wishlist.
“You brought Christmas cheer to more than 200 young people in foster care."
