Only 64% of foster kids will graduate from high school.  These children in our communities need our support to have a fair chance.  

You can help a foster kid be better prepared to go "back to school" over distance learning this fall.  

• $250 - one laptop for online learning 
• $100 - clothes and new shoes for one youth
• $50 - school supplies for one youth for distance learning

Thank you for helping AFS support the Bay Area's underserved children!

More about Alternative Family Services:
Often times, foster kids arrive at their foster home with the clothes on their back and one or two changes of clothes in a garbage bag. This means that foster parents need to scramble to scrape together clothes, toys, and school supplies.  Government stipends to foster parents fall short when it comes to making sure foster kids have the things that every kid should be able to take for granted.

AFS is one of the oldest and most respected foster care agencies in the Bay Area, providing excellent foster care services and mental health support to 1,500 foster children as well as their adoptive, biological, and foster families. AFS supports these incredibly vulnerable kids, and helps them achieve permanency - either reunification with their biological families, or placement with a loving adoptive family.

As an AFS board member and parent, I am a firm believer in what AFS does to strengthen families and foster kids to grow into independent and successful members of our community.
