FAQs

Thank you for asking! The families served through Foster Village are completely funded by your donations. We do not receive any state funding, and the number of families served is utterly dependent on what donations allow. For example, a large percentage of requests, like car seats, beds and mattresses, must be purchased new for safety reasons. When you give, however big or small, these urgent needs can be met.  

Please visit the giving page to make an online donation or to become a Monthly Partner. 

We are so grateful for businesses like yours! There are several partnership opportunities to show your support for our community’s most vulnerable. Please fill out our contact form and our Executive Director, Maggie, will be in touch. 

Thank you for thinking of Foster Village Houston for your donations! At this time, we can only accept new donations of the basic necessities that we provide to children entering foster care (Please see our Amazon Wish List).

We cannot accept used car seats, mattresses, toys, or anything in need of repair.

For all gently used items that we do not accept at our resource centers, we have created a community Facebook group called Foster Village Houston Swap where folks can post items to donate directly to a foster family who wants them.

To make an in-kind donation, please visit our In-Kind Donations page and fill out the form to request a drop off.

We love our volunteers! They are what keep us running and help us connect foster families with the resources they need most. Please check out our current list of volunteer opportunities here.

We are glad you asked! We have an affiliate program that allows those passionate about supporting foster families to replicate our model and materials in their city. To check out our current locations and application process here. 

A willingness to learn more is the best place to start! We recommend researching your local child placement agencies and attending orientations to get a feel for which agency is the best fit. Recommendations from current foster parents can also be very helpful. Many of our volunteers start with us as a way to get a better feel for what it’s like to be a foster family and later go on to get licensed, so volunteering is a great first step as well. 

Yes, we’d love to! Please complete our contact form and tell us a little about your event.
