Welcome to the Holiday Gifts Campaign!
As the holiday season approaches and our thoughts turn to celebrations with loved ones, Foster Forward asks for your help to create memorable holidays for the youth in state foster care.

For more than 28 years, each teen and youth in Rhode Island state care has received a gift during the holiday season thanks to the generosity of people like you! Gifts for children ages birth through twelve are generously donated by Hasbro, Inc. Monetary donations will be used to purchase gift cards for teens and young adults, so they can truly get the items they need. And, the pajamas we collect are for all ages!

To ensure every child, teen, and young adult has a happy holiday this year, we ask you to consider helping us in one of the following ways:

GIVE

Make a financial donation to Foster Forward by writing a check made payable to Foster Forward and sending it to the Holiday Gifts Campaign,

55 South Brow Street, East Providence, RI 02914,

or click the “donate” button below.

“ADOPT”

This season, you can "adopt" one or more wishlists from youth and children in foster care, including those in group homes, kinship care, and other placements. We have wishlists from children of all ages, from young kids to teens and young adults in our programs. While we will do our best to match your preferred age group, we cannot guarantee a specific age. Please fill out the form below to adopt a wishlist and make someone's holiday dreams come true.
