Make A Difference Minnesota! Back-To-School Shopping for Kids in Foster Care
Make a Big Difference For a Minnesota Child
Help Build Confidence for Children in Foster CareÂ
We are raising money for the Foster Adopt Minnesota’s 6th Annual Back-to-School Shopping Event for children in foster care. Our goal is to provide children in foster care with a shopping trip that will build the confidence they need to succeed in school. This program has given over 750 children and youth in foster care, in need of a permanent home, the funds to prepare them for a successful school year. Â
Studies consistently show that children having this kind of shopping opportunity can improve grades, creativity, attitudes towards learning, behavior, peer relationships and self-image. They feel valued and supported by their community, boosting their confidence and motivation to try hard. Â
You can help!  Your donation will go to children in foster care, so they can pick out clothing, shoes, tech gear or any other essential items to start their new school year. Each child/youth receives a $200. Visa gift card to shop at stores in their community, online or on a special trip to MOA. This experience means the world to children with limited opportunity and very few choices. Â
Together, we can empower Minnesota children in foster care and help them flourish in school and in life. Your donation, no matter the size, can make a big difference in the life of a child. Â
 Together, we can make a positive impact on the lives of children in our community. Â

MN ADOPT is, once again, teaming up with the Minnesota Sheriffs’ Association statewide to shop with our children in foster care. For most kids, this time of year holds endless possibilities and offers a chance to start fresh. However, for those in foster care, it can be a time of trepidation and wondering if they’ll be able to join their peers in updating their wardrobe or school gear.
