Thank you to and for helping provide baby essentials to our children and families experiencing foster care. These essentials like diapers and wipes help foster families welcome children into their homes with the care and necessities every child deserves, while also easing financial stress for caregivers stepping up to support youth in foster care. 💙

We’ve been working with some amazing partners in our community to curate special gifts to celebrate and honor our incredible foster dads for Father’s Day. 💙

Today, our wonderful volunteers started assembling these sweet gift packages filled with appreciation, gratitude, and a little extra love.

We can’t wait to share all of the goodies and recognize the businesses that showed up for our dads… stay tuned! ✨

During Foster Care Awareness Month, our community showed up in a big way. 💙

A heartfelt thank you to and their incredible customers for supporting foster youth and families across our community. Throughout May, shoppers at every Mollie Stone's location in the Bay Area had the opportunity to add a bag of much-needed nonperishable items to their carts and donate them at checkout to support transition-age foster youth, resource families, and families in reunification. 🛍👏

We have been blown away by the generosity we received and have loved sharing this bounty with the youth and families we serve. These donations are helping stock pantries, ease financial stress, and provide practical support during critical moments.

Thank you, Mollie Stone's, for your partnership and commitment to strengthening families, and thank you to everyone who contributed. Your kindness is making a meaningful difference in the lives of local children, youth, and caregivers. 💙

Most Marin kids just get to show up.

For sports. For camp. For music lessons. For a summer adventure. Their parents say "yes."

For children in foster care, it's not that simple.

Even small barriers like team fees, equipment, camp tuition, or travel expenses can stand in the way. Our Opportunity Project and Summer Fun grants allow children in foster care to say "yes" to the same experiences as their peers--quickly, when it matters most.

Because every child deserves to participate, belong, and just be a kid.

Now is the perfect time to make a difference. DM us to learn more about our Opportunity Project or Summer Fun grants or donate by visiting marinfostercare.org.

As we near the end of Foster Care Awareness Month, we would like to shine a light on one of the programs that helps children in foster care simply be kids: our Opportunity Project. 💙

Foster youth can participate in extracurricular activities and use these grants to cover things like:

⚾ Sports equipment & team fees
🎵 Music lessons or instruments
🎨 Creative programs
🏕 Camps & enrichment opportunities

These experiences build confidence, connection, and joy — and help create a sense of normalcy during difficult times.

None of this is possible without the generosity of our community.

Want to learn more or help support a child’s opportunity to thrive? Send us a DM or visit our website to donate.

One week later, and we’re still glowing from the magic of Glitter & Groove ✨💛

Because of this incredible community, we raised more than $200,000 to support Marin’s foster youth.

Over the past week, we’ve been reflecting on the powerful stories shared that night — stories of resilience, compassion, and the everyday commitment of foster parents who continue to show up for our community’s kids.

We hope you look back on that special evening and feel inspired to make a difference, whether through advocacy, volunteering, fostering, mentorship, or donations.

Scroll through to see just some of the amazing individuals who showed up for our foster care community. Thank you for standing with foster youth and helping ensure children can remain connected to their community, schools, relationships, and support systems right here in Marin. 💛
