  • Foster Hearts Highlight Summary 2024 In the past year, Foster Hearts has provided vital support and services to children in foster care and their caregivers, positively impacting lives through a wide range of programs, events, and community partnerships. Key Achievements: Direct Support: Provided services to over 600 children in foster care and supported 200 caregivers with essential resources. Basic Needs: Provided 145 meals to foster families, 350 snack packs for use in DCYF offices, and 50 cans of hard-to-find baby formula.

Foster Hearts Store: Over 400 children in foster care visited and shopped at our store for free, receiving clothing, personal care items, and more.
