An initiative to provide essential items to children in foster care when they need it the most. Our goal is to create a sense of comfort and security for children who are entering foster care.
Treasure Valley Foster Parents can text us at 208.204.0230 the age, gender, and any other special notes about the child coming into their care, and our team will then deliver a bag of essentials!
Along with opening our doors to Mimi’s House, we’ve launched another initiative to support children entering the foster care system, The Essentials Project. Our goal is to provide every child who enters foster care with a bag of essential items, like clothes, pajamas, toiletries, undergarments, and more.
These items can make all the difference in a child’s life during this difficult time. But we need your support to make this project a success. You can donate items, contribute funds, or spread the word to your friends and family.
Together, let’s make a difference in the lives of children in foster care at Mimi’s House and beyond!
We are so thankful for any amount of items you are able to donate to The Essentials Project! The following shopping lists are meant to be examples for those who wish to buy items that will complete a bag for the first 48 hours or even up to a full week!
We’re currently looking for volunteers to help organize new donations as well as deliver the essential bags once we get a call (day or night). If you’d like to be part of this team, please reach out to [email protected]!
