Update!
You all are amazing! Thank you so much! That should be enough of the bags! We have added some mens soap and deodorant if you still want to donate!
‼️URGENT NEED‼️
OCY is out of these duffle bags 😫
Wishlist to purchase: (They will ship directly to us!)

No child should ever have to move with their belongings in a black garbage bag. 😢 Foster Erie is determined to make sure that doesn’t happen (whenever possible)!!
These duffle bags arrive compact and open up into HUGE bags for OUR kids & youth.
Over the last couple of years these bags have been a great resource for caseworkers, caregivers, and residential facilities in Erie County.
We are in need of any color, size 80L.
Please help us continue offering these great bags to kids & youth in our community! 💙
There are also some men's items on this list we are in need of as well!

Every Christmas there are older youth in foster care who will wonder if anyone is thinking about them. Let’s make a difference this Christmas for these deserving kids and remind them that we care! We were recently provided a list of youth who still need gifts this holiday season. If you can help, please see the list below & send me a DM.
Thank you for your generous giving to others. ❤️

Erie Community,
We have some unique giving opportunities for children and families in our area this holiday season.

#1 - We are looking for a church, organization, business who is still looking for a holiday giving project. This will include providing gift bags & meal bags for 8 youth aging out of foster care. These youth have little to no permanent connections.
#2 - We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to help grant wishes to 6 older youth experiencing foster care. These youth have little to no permanent connections.
#3 - We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to grant holiday wishes for 4 vulnerable families. These families are in need of Christmas gifts, clothing & shoes for their children. Family sizes range from 2-4 children.

If you can help with any of these giving opportunities, please DM us or email [email protected]

Thank you for your generosity!
