Donate to your local Foster Care Group Home

Based on data accumulated in 1999, there were about 547,000 kids in foster care. These children face hardships most of us will never know. In most states, in addition to foster families, private agencies are also providing foster care services, and these agencies can use your help!

Call your state department of Social Services to get a list of the nearest Foster Care Group homes near you, and see what they need!

For California, call: (916) 657-3783
For New York, call: (518) 474-9441
Or log on to: www.acf.dhhs.gov to search for your local state licensing specialist.

Or donate clothing to Dress for Success, to help these young people look their best during interviews, and on the job. www.dressforsuccess.org

This is an easy way to give, but it'll make a BIG difference to the children in need.

In optimistic moments, I like to believe that most Americans would want to lift children out of poverty even if it costs something.
