How to Donate
Fostering Hope relies on donations to keep the Foster-Share Closet open and Bags of Hope going to foster families and children. All donations go to operational costs and providing tangible support to children in foster care in Southeastern PA. We appreciate all varieties of donations including monthly gifts, one-time gifts, gift-cards, donation drive sponsors, purchases off our wish-list, as well as any good to new quality donations of baby gear, clothing, toys, books, etc. If you would like to donate financially please use the form on this page.
Your gift provides critical resources to children that desperately need it and to those who are willing and able to turn their families into foster families.

Fostering Phones
Fostering Hope is excited to introduce its newest initiative, “Fostering Phones,” dedicated to providing free phones and cellular service to teens and young adults in foster care. Cell phones are not a luxury; they are a lifeline. They enable us to apply for jobs, communicate with peers, maintain connections, check grades, research colleges, and more. Without a phone, youth cannot access the essential services they need to thrive. A lack of internet and digital communication access significantly hinders a teen’s transition to independence and adulthood.
Feedback from our county partners has highlighted a critical gap: the absence of programs providing cell phone access to teenagers and young adults in foster care. In response, Fostering Hope is thrilled to offer “Fostering Phones” for teenagers.
Currently this initiative is being offered exclusively by Berks, Chester, Delaware, Lower Bucks, Montgomery, and Philly-NE Chapters. If you are a teenager or young adult in foster care, or if you care for one, please contact your local participating chapter of Fostering Hope. They will assist you in submitting an application to receive a refurbished phone, a protective case, and a year of service, subject to available funding.
This hallmark initiative was made possible by the generous support of the Justamere Foundation. However, we still need additional funding to continue providing phones to those who need them most. If you’d like to support this imperative effort, please DONATE HERE.
Non Monetary Donations
We need to stock our closets with everything a family could need and that’s where you come in! Fostering Hope accepts various forms of non monetary donations such as gently used, like new clothing and shoes, baby items and gear, brand new underwear, diapers and wipes, toys, books and games. Select which Chapter you would like to donate to and a member of our team will contact you!
