Who We Are and What we do
Our mission
Our mission is to provide a safe, welcoming, and compassionate space for children entering foster care, offering comfort and support during times of transition. We equip foster families with essential resources through our Foster Closet and engage the community in meaningful volunteer opportunities to uplift and care for youth in foster care. Together, we strive to create a place where every child feels seen, supported, and loved—and where the village comes together to make a lasting difference.Fostering Child Happiness is a 501 (c)(3) Non Profit.

Our History
Our journey began just before the holidays, when our founders welcomed their very first foster placement. The children arrived with nothing but the clothes on their backs. In that moment, friends and family rallied together, filling the home with clothing, personal items, and heartfelt gifts. The love and generosity poured in were overwhelming — and life-changing. It was then the founders realized this wasn’t just about helping one child or one family. It was about creating a community of hope, support, and happiness for youth in care everywhere.
OUR TEAM
Our team has been offering support to children in foster care and the foster community since 2013. As our team has grown, we have expanded our resources to helping more youth in care and the community that support them.
