Our Partner

Robyn’s Nest is a core support program of Children’s Wisconsin dedicated to providing essential resources to Children’s Wisconsin families, especially those involved in foster care. Its primary role is to ensure that children and youth entering foster care have immediate access to basic necessities like clothing, hygiene items, school supplies, infant needs, and household goods. Beyond its initial focus on foster families and caregivers, the program extends its support to any Children’s Wisconsin family accessing services—including primary care, dental care, or parent education—who may be struggling financially, or who are recovering from domestic violence, natural disasters, or catastrophic losses. The program was created in 2009 in memory of Robyn Hitchman, a devoted Children’s Service Society of Wisconsin social worker, to continue her deep commitment to supporting local children and families.
