The Twig

The Twig Mission: To encourage and inspire foster families by meeting their needs. Core Value: Blessed to be a blessing. These are the children we serve.

Vision: To provide a haven for the foster care community where needs are met, hearts are encouraged and God's love is shown in a practical way. On any given day, there are over 400,000 children in the foster care system in the United States. These children have been removed from their homes because of abuse, abandonment, or neglect and have been placed into foster homes, kinship care, or non-relat

ive placements. These children go to our schools, attend our churches, and play on our playgrounds. Many of these children come into the system with very little in their possession. They are expected to wake up tomorrow as if nothing has changed, while their lives have been been turned upside down. At the Twig, we want to encourage these children and inspire them to be all they can be.
โ€‹Giving these children clothing isn't just about meeting their needs, it is about empowering them with the tools and resources they need to overcome their circumstances and succeed. Fore more information about our programs please visit our website: www.TheTwigCares.com

Venice location:
826 Pinebrook Rd. Venice, FL 34285
Open for children in foster care to shop during the first 3 Saturdays of every month from 9-1.

Join us at West Bradenton Baptist Church on Sunday, August 30th to learn how you can make a difference in the lives of orphaned and at-risk children in the foster care system.

The No More Orphans Experience is a FREE, family-friendly event for the whole community. With local bands, personal stories, experts in the field, an artist, and a spoken word poet, Declare No More Foundation (DNM) looks to give people a window from which they can see, hear, and understand both the heart of God and the heart of the orphan.

Doors open at 4:30.
