Seasons of Giving
When it comes to holidays of giving, children in foster care are often left out of celebrations. Whether it be holiday gifts or spring baskets, we believe all children deserve the opportunity to take part and find joy in these holidays.
Seasonal Gifts
In addition to our ongoing programming, we collect gifts and gift cards for winter holiday presents and spring baskets for children living in foster care and residential treatment in Northeast Ohio. We partner with children’s services and our agency partners to deliver these special holiday gifts.
What makes our holiday gift giving program special? The youth we serve get to choose the three gifts they really want. We do not pick what they will receive, just like so many children who make a list at the holidays.
“These gifts you generously gave to us lets us know there are people like you who actually care about us. You went out of your way to make us feel happy.”

Each year Fostering Hope fulfills the holiday wishes of hundreds of children and teens living in foster care or residential treatment. The number of youth we serve continues to grow, and we need your help!
We have several opportunities for you to support young people in our community.
DONATE: Adopt and shop from a child's wish list, or make a cash donation and let someone else do the shopping.
ORGANIZE: Sponsor a Giving Tree at your place of business, church, community center, etc., or gather your friends, family, coworkers and adopt wish lists.
VOLUNTEER: Make community deliveries, wrap gifts, or collect drop offs at the Fostering Hope warehouse.
All gifts need to be delivered to Fostering Hope by December 7, 2024. Please sign up to participate by Friday, November 15.
How to Help
Your donation of a gift or gift card makes a big difference in the life of a foster child. When we have seasonal giving opportunities we will post them here. Check back, or join our mailing list, to be notified.
