Not everyone can be a foster family, but everyone can do something to impact kids and families involved in foster care. OneHope27’s mission is to bring hope to kids and families involved in foster care in Milwaukee County through support and connection. Every month OneHope27 drops off 100 new placement bags that include items a child needs for the first day/night stay in a foster care home, such as new pajamas, personal care items, and an encouraging card.
Registration Information:
Participant Cap: 4-5 families or about 15 volunteers
Age: 5 years and older
Cost: Free.
If your family is interested in donating items for the placement bags, please visit OneHope27’s Target registry to see a list of the items they need. Take your kiddos shopping and invite them to pick out items to bring on the day of the project. They can then pack the items they picked out into a placement bag!
