Help us keep our food pantry stocked!

We have had a steady stream of youth who are in Extended Foster Care (age 18-21) coming in each week who are struggling to make ends meet. We hope that together we can continue to support their basic needs ❤️

Back-to-school needs can add up quickly, but foster families in Pierce County don’t have to navigate them alone.

The Wishing Well Foundation (WA) provides children in foster care with new and gently used clothing, school supplies, backpacks, and other essentials.

Every child deserves to walk into school feeling prepared and confident.

OH NO!
We are running VERY LOW or are completely out of teen pajamas! An interesting thing we have learned is that our teen girls often prefer the flannel pajama bottoms too (and shop from the guys rack) so these are the hardest thing to keep in stock!
We have added these items to our Amazon wish list and please keep us in mind if you see good deals when you are out and about!
Most needed sizes are size youth 12, 14, Adult XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL

We are looking for a few items that you may have at home taking up space!

* We would love any gently used luggage for our foster youth who may have to move and do not want to take their belongings in trash bags

* We are in need of reusable bags for our shoppers to take their items home in

* We can always accept used gaming consoles/games to pass along to our foster or kinship families

Thank you for the continued support!
