Why Year-End Giving Makes the Biggest Impact

As the year comes to a close, many of us are reflecting, celebrating, and setting goals for the year ahead. For children entering foster care, however, the end of the year can bring uncertainty, loss, and fear instead of comfort and joy.

Foster care doesn’t pause for the holidays. Every day,  1,200 children are removed from their homes with little notice, and many arrive with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

This is why year-end giving is so crucial. When you give before December 31, your support meets children at the moment they need it most—helping them start the new year with hope, safety, and love.

Why Year-End Giving Matters

Foster care doesn’t slow down during the holidays. Every day, children are removed from their homes with little notice and even fewer belongings. Some arrive with nothing but the clothes on their backs, unsure where they will sleep, what they’ll eat, or if they’ll see their siblings.

How a child starts the new year can shape their entire experience in foster care, and your year-end giving can make that start a hopeful one.

Your year-end gift allows Foster Love to provide children with the essentials they need most:

• Brand-new clothing and comfort items

• School supplies and tools to help them stay on track

• Birthday boxes and small joys to remind them they are valued

• Support for sibling reunification and emergency needs

  

Because the end of the year is a critical moment, every gift has amplified impact. Donations given now allow Foster Love to provide immediate, life-changing support for children who are stepping into the new year with uncertainty.

Even as the calendar turns, the need for support doesn’t stop. Ending the year with a gift ensures that children in foster care start 2026 with essentials, comfort, and the knowledge that someone cares.

Take action through your year-end giving and help a child start the new year feeling seen, loved, and supported.
