FRIENDS OF FOSTER KIDS

Friends of Foster Kids is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children and youth in the foster care system. Though we are based in Macomb County we serve children in Macomb, Oakland, Wayne County and beyond. Since 2008, we have provided holiday gifts, high school graduation packages, essential items, and year-round programs that promote stability, independence, and hope. Our mission is to ensure that every child feels valued, supported, and prepared for a brighter future.

We respond to emergency needs with clothing, shoes, coats, pajamas, and hygiene items—often within 24 hours of removal. For older youth transitioning to independence, we provide household essentials to support a safe start.

We also support major milestones. Our Hats Off to Grads program honors high school graduates with dorm and career essentials, while our Prom and Homecoming events ensure foster teens can enjoy these special moments with confidence. To support their long-term success, our growing scholarship and youth mentoring program helps open doors to college and career opportunities.

What began as one small promise has become a year-round mission to help foster youth feel seen, supported, and hopeful for the future.
