Financial pressures that force them to choose work over education

The First Night in Foster Care is the Hardest

Nobody sees what happens the moment a child is first dropped off at a new foster home. Imagine being told you will be living in a stranger’s house under new rules, with no idea when you will be allowed to see your parents again. You’re not even sure if you’re allowed to ask for a glass of water. You’re afraid someone will hear you crying as you try to fall asleep. This night is the one they remember the most.

Testimonials

I don’t know what I could do if I couldn’t get my degree. This is one of the coolest scholarships I’ve ever gotten. I’m so happy resources exist like this for foster kids. I wanted to have a community where people trusted each other. Here, it’s just so nice to see everybody and talk to them about everything.

— Farrah

Family Fellowship

Foster Love made all this possible, for students like me, and foster youth who kind of wonder how their life is going to be. And because of kind people like you, I’m able to take steps to make my life better for myself and for the people around me

Foster Love Trade Scholarship

I believe I can achieve anything as long as I put my best foot forward and have the hope and faith that I can. I was hoping to find support and mentorship. Being a part of this organization was going to be more for all of us.

Why choose a First Night Kit team building activity instead of a traditional team building event?

First Night Kits are packed with items to help children get through their very first night in a new foster home, helping turn fear and uncertainty into something calmer. Many children arrive with only the clothes on their back, or the few items they own stuffed into trash bags, making First Night Bags essential for providing comfort and basic necessities. Your team will decorate each tote bag and fill it with comforting, familiar items.

Each First Night Kit comes with:

  • Brand new, age-appropriate pajamas
  • Themed nightlight
  • Ready-to-use camera
  • A door plaque to signal for privacy
  • A decorated tote to carry it all

A Foster Care Team Building Activity That Creates Real Impact

This team building activity brings your team together around something meaningful. Instead of typical ice breaker exercises, your group works side by side to create First Night Kits that will be given directly to children in need. 

It’s hands-on, engaging, and purpose-driven—helping your team build stronger communication and collaboration while making a real difference in a child’s life.

I didn’t sleep well my first night. I got very little sleep. Think of how you’d feel being forced to sleep at a stranger’s house. I was super uncomfortable and lonely.
