Applications are open for children to join us at camp this summer!

We serve children 6-11 who are in foster care or kinship care or have reached permanency after an out of home placement. We serve children in Portage, Wood, Marathon and Waupaca counties primarily.

Camp is free for children to attend thanks to the generosity of our community. The week is intentionally planned and so much fun for the kids and provides a week of respite for their families back home.

Sorting some wonderful donations that came in this morning from a mom at my children’s daycare!

We are so grateful for donations! They help us clothe kids who most of the time come with just the clothes on their back!

We accept donations of new or gently used clothing, as well as other essential items like diapers, baby wipes, hairbrushes, etc. We also have a wish list of needs on Amazon where you can purchase needed items directly, https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2DK30C36UYZHZ?ref_=wl_share

Thank you to all who support our mission to help local kids in foster care 💗

Shop at Shirley Thrift Store this week and support a great cause 💕

01/04/2026

Don’t forget to shop this week at Shirley Thrift ! January 5-9th a portion of sales are being forwarded to our organization helping LOCAL kids in foster care!

Quick correction! The share discount was supposed to be 10% off, not $10 off totally my mistake. I tried to fix it on the regular post but somehow the whole post got deleted. Picture for reference. No need to share again. Thanks for understanding!

Whoever shops on Saturday and Sunday next week will be entered into a gift certificate for the store! 8 days!

If you shared it, just let the cashier know on Saturday!
