Distribution center

Happy Halloween from all of us at FCSF! Whatever your night looks like, spooky, silly, or somewhere in between, we hope it’s a good one. Before we jump into November: this month, registration opened for Fall/Winter Distribution and our Grands Raising Grands Holiday Wish Program, and volunteer groups helped get every rack ready for cold weather. November starts with GAgives early giving on November 1. More on that tomorrow. #FosterCareSupportFoundation #Halloween #FosterCareGA

Costume racks, ready for one more day. 🎃 Cleaning out costumes after Halloween? Gently used ones are always welcome at our distribution center, so next year’s kids get to pick theirs too. #FosterCareSupportFoundation #Halloween #FosterCares #FosterCareGA

Clothes, shoes, school supplies, books, toys, even bicycles: our distribution center covers a lot more ground than people expect. Today, families worked their way through every department, picking out exactly what their kids needed. 🧡 Link in bio to volunteer. #FosterCareSupportFoundation #DistributionDay #VolunteersMakeItHappen #FosterCareGA

Caregivers: registration for our Fall/Winter Distribution season is open! If you have a displaced child in your care, now’s the time to get signed up so they have the essentials they need for the cold weather months ahead. Check if the displaced child in your care qualifies and get started at fostercares.org/services. #FosterCareSupportFoundation #FosterCareGA #KinshipCare

Here’s how an in-person appointment actually works: a family arrives at their scheduled appointment time and shops right in our distribution center, set up like a real store with racks organized by size and bins neatly sorted. Using a guided list built for their child’s age, they shop every department and pick out exactly what fits: the right sizes, the right styles, the right things for that specific kid. Completely free, and with real dignity, not digging through piles of random items. It’s simple on purpose. Kids shouldn’t have to jump through hoops for basic needs. #FosterCareSupportFoundation #FosterCare #FosterCareGA

6100 volunteer hours so far this year! And a good number of these has gone toward our fall/winter changeover. That’s shelves reorganized, seasonal items sorted, and a distribution center ready for what’s next, all thanks to volunteers who showed up. If you’ve got a weekday free (Tuesday through Friday), we’d love to have you join in. #FosterCareSupportFoundation #ImpactReport #VolunteersMakeItHappen #FosterCare #FosterCareGA

Walk into our distribution center on a Saturday and it looks like any other store: clothes on hangers, sorted by size, bins neatly organized. That’s on purpose. Every participant shops with a guided list built for the child’s age range, picking out exactly what fits and what they love with dignity. Thank you to today’s volunteers for keeping the racks full and organized. We need volunteers all week long, Tuesday through Saturday. 🧡 Link in bio to volunteer. #FosterCareSupportFoundation #FosterCares #DistributionDay #VolunteersMakeItHappen #FosterCareGA

Over 100,000 items handed out through our distribution center so far this year: clothes, shoes, school supplies, all of it picked out by the kids who needed it. That kind of volume takes real donations, sorted and shelved by real volunteers, week after week. Donors and volunteers working together are what make the biggest impact for these kids. #FosterCareSupportFoundation #ImpactReport #FosterCare #FosterCareGA

That’s a wrap on August. This month, our community helped make sure kids started the school year with what they needed, showed up for distribution days, and kept saying yes when we asked for help. September’s got its own plans for us, starting with wrapping up our Season Changeover and the start of the new Distribution Season! We’ll see you there. #FosterCareSupportFoundation #FosterCares #FosterCareGA

Saturdays are for the kids! Saturdays are our busiest day for in-person appointments. Every participant today shops for free in our distribution center, picking out items in the sizes and styles that fit the child in their care. That kind of choice matters. Picking what actually fits and feels like them helps build a child’s confidence and gives them one more piece of a healthy, normal childhood. Behind every visit is a volunteer who got up early, a donor who gave without being asked twice, and a team that believes a displaced child deserves consistency, not just charity. We need volunteers all week long, Tuesday through Saturday. 🧡 Link in bio to volunteer.

What a day. 💛 We had the most incredible team from @CoxEnterprises join us on Wednesday, and we are still smiling about it. They showed up ready to work and work they did! Our exterior got a full glow-up with landscaping and beautification that makes our space feel as welcoming on the outside as it does on the inside. Donations and diapers got sorted and organized. Prom dresses that remained from Spring distribution are now hanging beautifully on rolling racks, ready for the next round of Prom-a-Palooza magic. And so much more in between. This is what it looks like when a corporate team brings their whole hearts to a cause. When businesses invest in the communities they call home, real change happens for the children and families we serve every single day. From grant opportunities to employee match programs, we love building relationships that go beyond a single day of service. Thank you, @coxenterprises and to every corporate team that has volunteered alongside us this season. Georgia’s displaced children are better off because you showed up. 🧡 #FosterCares #CorporateVolunteers #GeorgiaKids #DisplacedChildren #CommunityPartners

🌟 Wishlist Wednesday 🌟 It’s Wishlist Wednesday and our flip flop shelf is almost empty — and summer is HERE! ☀️ We are in desperate need of flip flops for boys and girls in all sizes. Every displaced child in foster and relative care deserves summer footwear to keep them cool in the hot Georgia heat! 🩴 Can you help us fill this shelf back up? Drop them off at our distribution center or mail them directly to us! For more ways to help, visit us online at 👉www.fostercares.org Together we can make sure every displaced child stays cool and cared for this summer! 💛 . . . #WishlistWednesday #FosterCareSupport #FosterCare #DisplacedChildren #giveback

We love Granny! 🥰 Always helpful and dependable, even if she takes a little while to wake up in the morning. She’s such a necessary part of the team, getting ready all of our schedules, to-do lists, shipping, and so much more! Thanks, Granny! ❤️ #FosterCareSupportFoundation #FosterCareGA #GANonprofit

We’re proud to serve Cheryl G. and her grandchildren. They are some of the many families we serve all over Georgia. We provide them with clothes, shoes, toys, school supplies, and more! That’s the kind of support we hope every kinship family finds. #FosterCareSupportFoundation #CaregiverStory #KinshipCare #RelativeCare

Dr. Keith B. is one of our beloved board members. He was asked to fill the position by our founder, and also adopted one of her former foster children. He’s been with us for almost ten years. Sometimes all it takes is one visit to get hooked. Thank you, Dr. Keith! #FosterCareSupportFoundation #FosterCares #CommunityVoice #VolunteerSpotlight

Kinda chic 🎀 Let’s face it, we’ve always been kinda chic around here. Swipe through for proof. Pick your favorite. Or do all of them. We won’t stop you. #FosterCareSupportFoundation #FosterCareGA #GANonprofit #KindaChic

Meet Leanna, FCSF's newest team member! 👋 “Hi, I’m Leanna and I do social media here at FCSF. I’m a college freshman starting out my studies for non-profit work. I’m so excited to show what we do here!” We're so glad to have her helping us tell our story and connect with this community. Say hi in the comments!#FosterCareSupportFoundation #FosterCares #MeetTheTeam #FosterCareGA #ganonprofit

With Halloween coming up, we love that kids at FCSF get to pick their own costume, just like any other kid would. Small choices like that matter more than people realize. #FosterCareSupportFoundation #FosterCareGA

POV: Volunteering is fun! All these blue bags are full of spring and summer clothes that have been taken down and will be stored until next season. We’re steadily making preparations for fall and winter clothes! Thank you to all our volunteers! ❤️ #FosterCareSupportFoundation #FosterCares #DistributionDay #VolunteersMakeItHappen #FosterCareGA

Day in the life at Foster Care Support Foundation! Ever wonder what actually happens at FCSF on any given day? A little bit of everything: intake calls, sorting donations, prepping for the next day’s appointments, and responding to a family reaching out for the first time. Each day looks a little different, but these are the tasks that keep our services steady for the kids who need them. #FosterCareSupportFoundation #DayInTheLife #FosterCareGA #GANonprofit

Let’s clear something up: foster care isn’t just for babies and toddlers. FCSF serves displaced children of every age: from newborns through 18, and up to 22 for young adults who’ve aged out of foster care and are in college or in their first steps toward independent living. Every one of them deserves the same shot at feeling safe, supported, and valued, no matter their age when they need us. Curious how you can help? Visit fostercares.org/take-action to see all the ways to get involved. #FosterCareSupportFoundation #FosterCare #KinshipCare #RelativeCare #fostercarega

Fall’s almost here, and with it a new set of needs: warmer layers, closed-toe shoes, real jackets. Some things about kids never change though. They still want to feel like themselves in what they’re wearing. #FosterCareSupportFoundation #FosterCare #FosterCareGA

On average, it takes as little as 3 days from a caregiver’s first phone call to their child’s first appointment with us. Kids don’t have time to wait. Thanks to our team and volunteers, most of them don’t have to. #FosterCareSupportFoundation #ImpactReport #FosterCare #FosterCareGA

Hooray for a new week and new ways to help! This week we’re focused on serving Georgia’s kids through in person appointments. They can shop around our distribution center like a real store, and can get what they need and love completely free. ❤️ Here’s to a strong start to the week, wherever you’re starting from. #FosterCareSupportFoundation #FosterCares #MondayMomentum #FosterCareGA
