Roots to Home Foundation
We believe every foster child deserves more than just shelter—they deserve connection, dignity, and a sense of belonging. When a child enters foster care, it’s often without notice and without essentials. That’s where we come in—with open arms and open hearts.
We’re here to say:
You’ve got people now. You’ve got roots. You’ve got home.
Our Mission
Roots to Home was born from a simple truth:
Every child deserves to feel rooted—even if their situation changes.
Whether a child is in care for a week, a year, or is transitioning into adulthood, our goal is to be a constant reminder that they are valued and not alone.
Here’s what we believe:
• “No child should feel like a guest in their own life.”
• “A backpack can carry more than school supplies—it can carry hope.”
• “Love is louder than circumstance.”
What We Do
We provide high-quality, brand-new essentials to children and youth in foster care. Our care kits are thoughtfully packed to meet immediate needs and bring comfort during uncertain times.
Items include:
• Hygiene kits (toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, deodorant, etc.)
• Cozy bedding & comfort items (pillows, blankets, stuffed animals)
• Backpacks and fully stocked school supplies
• Infant care (diapers, wipes, formula, bottles)
• Gift cards for emergency placements or teen independence
• Personalized care packages for birthdays, holidays, or transitions
Every item we provide is more than a necessity—it’s a message of love and stability.
Why It Matters
Over 391,000 children are in foster care in the U.S. at any given time.
• Many enter care with only the clothes on their back
• Foster families often receive less than 24 hours’ notice before a placement
• 1 in 5 foster youth will face homelessness within a year of aging out (National Foster Youth Institute)
These numbers aren’t just statistics—they’re stories.
We’re here to help change the ending.
