Macy’s Supports Aged-Out Foster Youth
his past May, during Foster Care Awareness Month, Macy’s Supports Aged-Out Foster Youth by teaming up with Foster Love – Together We Rise. The Del Amo Macy’s location in Torrance, CA, welcomed six aged-out foster youth for a special shopping experience. With the help of Macy’s personal stylists, each student selected essential household items such as pots, pans, bedsheets, and cooking utensils. By the end of the day, each student received $1,250 worth of brand-new items to help furnish their new apartments.
I just wanted to reach out and say a big thank you to you and the TWR team! Today was such a great experience and something I’ll remember forever! TWR has always been great to my peers and I, so again thank you! – Jackie R., College Student
This collaboration highlights the impact of supporting foster youth as they transition into adulthood. Many young adults aging out of foster care face overwhelming challenges, including financial insecurity and a lack of basic necessities. By providing these students with household essentials, Macy’s is helping to ease their transition and empower them to focus on their education and future goals.
Beyond the material support, experiences like these remind foster youth that they are valued and not alone in their journey. Acts of kindness from corporations and communities create a lasting impact, reinforcing the idea that success is within reach. Many aged-out foster youth lack a traditional support system, making initiatives like this even more crucial for their development and confidence.
When companies invest in the well-being of aged-out foster youth, they provide more than just material support—they offer confidence, stability, and hope. The generosity of Macy’s is a testament to the power of community-driven initiatives that create lasting change.
Thank you, Macy’s, for your dedication to helping foster youth succeed. We are honored to collaborate with a company that prioritizes giving back. If you’re looking for ways to support youth in foster care, join us HERE.
