Welcome Boxes
Give a child entering foster care a little comfort in a box.
Imagine a child arriving at their new foster home…
They are often scared and confused, all alone in a strange place with new people they don’t know. But then they open a box filled with a book to read, a toy to play with, and a cozy blanket to snuggle under.
At Embrace Washington, we believe that every child entering foster care deserves to feel welcome in their foster home from the moment they walk through the door.
For a child entering foster care, these simple possessions can mean the difference between fear and comfort at a critical point in their journey.
Children entering foster care don’t know what to expect, but a welcome box tells them they’re in a safe place.
For just $40, you can provide a child with a Welcome Box filled with age-appropriate belongings for a child entering foster care.

You can provide solace and warmth by sponsoring a decorating party with your family, community group, or high school organization. It’s a fun and easy way to make a difference in the life of a foster child. We will teach you everything you need to know, from selecting the right items for age appropriateness, procuring supplies, and how to prepare the boxes.
