Host A Drive

Gather your church, school, workplace, or a friend group to collect a high-need item like pajamas, socks, underwear, backpacks or duffels. Drives are a simple way to multiply generosity and fill urgent needs quickly.

Offer Professional Services

If you have a trade or skill - like hairstyling, photography, repairs, counseling, or tutoring - you can bless foster families directly by offering your services at no cost or reduced cost.

Encourage

Become an Encourager

Through our Hearts of Hope program, you can commit to providing notes, cards, or small tokens of encouragement for foster parents, kids, or biological families in crisis. These reminders of love and support can bring hope during challenging times.

Pray for the Mission

Prayer changes things. Commit to praying for the children, families, and volunteers we serve. You can pray for specific requests we share or for God's guidance over the work we do every day.

Host a Summer Stand

Anyone can host a stand—kids, families, churches, businesses, or groups. Whether its lemonade, popsicles, baked goods, or something creative, it's a fun and easy way to support children in care and meet real needs in our community. We highlight and share stands throughout June and July, but you're welcome to host one anytime.

Sponsor a Fundraiser

Partner with us by sponsoring one of our events, matching donations during a giving campaign, or creating your own community fundraiser to benefit Foster Landing. Whether you give or your fundraiser brings in $50 or $5,000, it goes toward clothing, essentials, and hope for children who need it most.

Share Our Story

One of the easiest ways to help is by sharing our mission on social media, telling friends, or inviting us to speak at your church, workplace, or community group. The more people who know, the more families we can reach.

Become a Business Partner

If you own or work for a local business, you can make a big impact by donating a portion of sales, sponsoring a need, or offering discounts to foster families.

​

It's also super simple to become a Foster Friendly business through the America's Kids Belong program. There's even an app that makes it easy to sign up and be listed as a business that supports foster families in your community. This small step can make a huge difference for families caring for kids experiencing foster care through no fault of their own.

Foster

Become a Foster Parent

Our mission is to care for and support foster families in practical ways, but more families are urgently needed. There are more children in foster care than there are homes to care for them, and many older children and teens are placed in group homes simply because no family is available or willing to take them in. These are real kids -- children who need a loving home, stability, a place to heal, and care that shows them they are valued and cherished. Foster parents stand in the gap, providing unconditional love and support while biological parents work to reunify with their children or until adoption becomes the best option. By opening your home, you can make a lasting difference in a child's life.
