Comfort Bags

Entering foster care is a traumatic change for a child. They have been removed from their families, and placed in an unfamiliar home with strangers.  To ease their transition, Fostering Kindness anticipates their needs. We provide the following new items in a nice duffel bag or backpack:


  • Nightlight
  • Pillow with pillowcase
  • Cozy blanket
  • Journal
  • Coloring/activity book
  • Crayons/pens
  • Feminine hygiene supplies
  • Toiletries and dental hygiene kit
  • Fidget toys
  • Stuffed animal


To help a child feel more secure in a new place, please contribute via our Comfort Bag Amazon Wish List!


Birthday Gifts

Many children in foster care have never received a gift to celebrate their birthdays. 


Because teens are the most underserved population in foster care, Fostering Kindness focuses its birthday giving on this age group.  We work with the children’s social workers and Guardian ad Litem volunteers to learn about each child, allowing us to personalize each gift bag.


If you’d like to contribute to a child’s birthday, please visit our Special Requests Amazon wish list!  All donations are truly appreciated.


Group Home Birthday Parties

Many teens in foster care have never had a birthday party!  In foster care group homes, birthdays are often overlooked entirely. Fostering Kindness sends a whole birthday party including decorations, pizza, birthday gifts, games/activities, and party favor bags for all the children in the home! 


We throw birthday parties every month.  To contribute to a group home birthday party, please visit our Birthday Party Amazon Wish list!  Every donation makes birthdays special.

Project Flo: Period Kits

For young ladies in foster care, we must anticipate the need for feminine hygiene supplies.  Sometimes this need presents at uncomfortable times, like during class, or upon arriving at a new foster home.  We make sure they are prepared, rather than embarrassed, by providing discreet makeup bags filled with supplies.


These kits are supplied in Comfort Bags and separately to young ladies as needed.  Please visit our Project Flo Amazon Wish List to contribute!

Holiday Gifts

The holidays are especially difficult for children in foster care.  Many teens and 'tweens feel left out, as most charitable giving is focused on younger children.  To make sure these kiddos feel included, we fill huge Santa Sacks with wonderful, personalized gifts!  On Christmas Eve, our team personally delivers Santa Sacks to many Central Florida homes.  We also make sure to deliver special gifts for Chanukah if celebrated!


Shop our Giving Tree wish list! There are gifts for as little as $4, so it's easy to be part of the magic! We also have specially requested gifts from youth in foster care, as well as those young adults who remain in extended foster care. Every gift makes a difference to those who need it most!
