When children enter new homes, the most important thing parents can do is spend time bonding and connecting as a family. Our foster Care packages are designed to help them do just that.
Building Connection
From toys and craft supplies to diapers and meals, our Care Packages include everything a family might need to welcome a new child. Each item is lovingly chosen with intention, keeping the child’s age and interest in mind. In addition, they include items for siblings already in the home.
And it's more than just stuff. The power of play is deeply impactful as children build attachment and connect with their caregivers. Through the toys, crafts, games, books, and care items included, children are more quickly able to develop a sense of felt safety and trust.
Frequently, care packages are accompanied by items pulled from Dwell’s Hope Chest Foster Closet. And thanks to the generosity of Hillside Catering, all families with new placements have delicious, ready-to-eat meals delivered to their doorstep.
