Dear Donors,

As we come to the close of another year, I find myself reflecting on the heart of our mission and the extraordinary community that makes it possible. Friends of Foster Children has always been a small team with a big vision of ensuring every child in foster care feels seen, valued, and supported. During the holiday season, that mission shines even brighter.

Each year, we commit to making sure every child we serve receives holiday presents that remind them they matter. For many of our youth, these gifts are more than toys or clothing; they are moments of joy, stability, and hope in a time of uncertainty. And we cannot do this alone.

Your generosity has carried us through another year of impact. Whether you donated, volunteered, shared our mission with others, or simply kept our children in your hearts, you played a vital role in fostering happy childhoods. We are deeply grateful.

As we prepare to distribute holiday gifts to over a thousand children in foster care, we ask for your continued partnership. Your support, large or small, makes a tremendous difference. Together, we can end the year with love, dignity, and joy for every child who needs it.

Thank you for standing with us, believing in the potential of every child, and strengthening our mission year after year. It truly takes a community, and we are blessed to have you as part of ours.


With gratitude,

Jane Denny Richardson

Executive Director

Friends of Foster Children


Thanksgiving Recap

We had an INCREDIBLE Thanksgiving week here at Friends of Foster Children! Our community showed up and showed out as we were able to give over 400 meals to deserving families in our community. This outpouring of generosity ensured that children and caregivers could gather around the table with comfort, gratitude, and joy.

The Holiday's are Here!

We are a week away from our annual toy distribution! This year, Friends of Foster Children will provide gifts for more than 1,000 children in foster care and we need your help to make it possible.

Community Partnership

Community is the word of the month around here! After a full and rewarding Thanksgiving, we are headed straight towards the Holidays where we will give away over 4,000 gifts to foster children in Palm Beach County. We could not do it without the help of our community who already has shown up by organizing toy drives, donating to our holiday campaign, and volunteering their time to helping us prepare!


A special thanks to Discover the Palm Beaches Certified Tourism Ambassadors Program for helping us set up the toy distribution room this year!
