SPONSOR A CHILD
Whatever gifts you choose will light up your child’s life and be more treasured than you know! But because people have asked, the following suggestions might be helpful:
1. If you choose to sponsor a child, you will receive a packet that will contain a large red bag, name tag and an index card with the child's first name, clothing sizes and around three wish list items. Because kids love to unwrap gifts, we suggest purchasing eight to ten gifts per red bag. Due to mailing costs we ask, whenever possible, that sponsors pick up their packet from their Red Bag Lady (names and email addresses provided below).
2. Please do not include any used items.
3. Some of the gifts can be inexpensive items like socks, gloves, personal care items, sleeping bags and school supplies.
4. A chock-full red bag with clothing, wish list items and extras can usually be packed for $100-$150 for younger children and $150-$200 for older children and teens.
5. The 2021 Red Bags will be delivered on Saturday, December 4th, from 10 am - 2 pm.
Delivery Site For 2021: The KVC Ball Conference Center

6. The red bags are loaded into one of three moving vans and delivered the following Monday. A BIG THANK YOU TO FRY WAGNER MOVING COMPANY FOR DONATING THE MOVING VANS EACH YEAR!!!

Kids “Aging Out” Ages 18+
New this year! As foster kids “age out” of the system, they often don’t have basic items they will need to live on their own. If you adopt one of these teenagers, we recommend both household needs and one or two personal gifts. This may include some of the following ideas (new items please!): towel and washcloth, a shower caddy with toiletries, a pillow, sheets, blanket, dishes, a pot and pan, silverware; as well as clothes, books, etc. This may be a bit more expensive than younger kids, but that little extra will go a long way!
