Foster Parent Fuel (FPF) is a line of specialty coffee produced by Go Foster! (a non-profit dedicated to recruiting and retaining great foster and adoptive parents), in partnership with Lucky Goat Coffee Company. Here are the main things you need to know about FPF:
• It is the best coffee you can buy. We guarantee it!
• All profits from the sale of FPF coffee go to support foster parent recruitm
ent efforts and support services aimed at increasing foster parent retention. The more you buy, the more we can do to improve the foster system!
• All coffee comes pre-ground and four roasts are available: Regular Octane (House Blend), High Octane (French Roast), Diesel (Espresso), Zero Octane (Decaf). Here are some critical things you need to know about Florida’s foster system:
• There are over 20,000 children in the foster system in Florida.
• There are fewer than 5000 foster homes to care for these children.
• This discrepancy leads to overburdened foster homes and an undue reliance on group homes/orphanages to care for children in our community. Yes, we have orphanages right here in Florida!
• The state of Florida’s net gain in foster homes year over year is often fewer than 100 (when we could use literally 1000s).
• Go Foster! is working tirelessly to fix these numbers and improve outcomes for kids in care by recruiting and retaining great foster and adoptive homes.
• We need your help today and FPF is the easiest way to get involved!
