Welcome Boxes
Give a child entering foster care a little comfort in a box.
Imagine a child arriving at their social worker’s office…
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 other items to call their very own.
At Embrace Washington, we believe that every child entering foster care deserves to feel safe and welcome 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.
Ensure that a child entering foster care has a welcome box waiting for them
For just $35, you can provide a child with a welcome box filled with age-appropriate items that belongs to them as soon as they enter their social worker’s office.
You can create an even bigger impact by joining the Circle of Care, our monthly donor club.
Host a Welcome Box Building Party
You can provide solace and warmth by sponsoring a welcome box building 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 child in foster care. 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.
