Thank you for making the 2024 Holiday Gifts Campaign a resounding success! With your incredible support, we brightened the holidays for thousands of young people and families impacted by foster care, ensuring they felt seen, supported, and celebrated. Your generosity has made a lasting impact, and we couldn’t have done it without you. We can’t wait to partner with you again in 2025 to bring even more joy and hope to the youth and families we serve. Stay tuned for what’s to come!

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,
