Many families wish to assist but are unable to offer foster care services themselves, and that's perfectly fine. There are numerous other ways to make a difference. You can donate clothing, provide financial contributions, volunteer your time, or offer various other services to support children in foster care. Financial donations help fund scholarships and address the physical needs of children currently in or previously involved with the child welfare system. To contribute, please send checks or money orders to RFS. Donors can deduct their contributions under IRC Section 170.
