Here at the Porch we believe that one of the best ways that the church can show the love of Jesus to the world is through foster care and adoption. Even if you aren’t a foster parent yourself, there are lots of ways to help foster families take care of these little ones.
Family Builders is the agency that Jon and Melissa are a part of as foster parents. Every year at Christmas, they do a gift drive where people can buy presents for foster kids. This year, our church is going to jump on board.
Here is the link to participate. Happy Shopping and thanks for pitching in.
Instructions from Family Builders: IMPORTANT: Each year we call upon our community to help make the Holidays a little brighter for the children and youth in foster care that Family Builders serves. Below you will find requested items that you can sign up to purchase. You will find on most items a child ID. All gifts must be mailed or delivered to Family Builders by DECEMBER 3RD. Our Shipping address is 1900 Embarcadero Suite 303 Oakland, CA 94606. When possible, please label any gifts that are mailed or dropped off with this ID. If you are having the gift shipped from a supplier and there is an option to send a note, please include this child ID on the note. This will help us immensely in the sorting process. If you would prefer to purchase any of the below gifts from a different retailer, that is fine. Please ensure that it is the SAME ITEM and in the correct size if applicable. Thank you again for your support!
