The Fostering Project

A HUGE thank you to the amazing team at Texas Roadhouse Cartersville for rolling up their sleeves and helping us in our Resource Closet!
Our Resource Closet is so much more than clothes, diapers, and supplies. It’s about making sure children entering foster care have what they need, easing the burden on foster families, and meeting practical needs during some of the hardest moments in a family’s life.
This is such an important piece of our mission at The Fostering Project, and we simply cannot do it alone.
When local businesses step up and serve, our entire community becomes better equipped to care for vulnerable children and families.
Texas Roadhouse, thank you for giving your time, working hard, and being part of what God is building here. We are SO grateful! ❤

Friends- we have had a large number of toddler boys come through the office recently and we are low on TODDLER BOY (18 month- 3T) sizes for clothes and pajamas. If you have any that you are looking to donate- please contact us. We want to make sure that we have what kids need when they enter care.

I have updated our Amazon Wishlist too to include some items if you would like to give that way!

❤️ International Day of Charity ❤️

Today, on this International Day of Charity—a reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference.

Here in our community, there are countless ways to give back. Whether you volunteer your time, support a local nonprofit, donate to a cause you care about, or simply lend a helping hand to someone in need, every act of generosity matters.

Let's continue to build a stronger, more compassionate community by looking for opportunities to give, serve, and make a difference. 🤝
