Donate Products
We are collecting a wide range of items from local business and the public to make up the kits. At the moment we need toiletries from birth to 18 years. (Toothpaste, toothbrushes, body wash, deodorant, shampoo for all ages). See what items we need.
Buy From Us on Trade Me
We are selling new children's books, kid's safety vests and fleece neck socks on Trade Me as a fundraiser so please view our listings here if you would like to support us.
Sponsor a Kits2Kids Pack for $40
The kits for the children consist of their very own backpack, clothes storage bag, book, toiletries, soft toy and other age appropriate items. Some of the goods are donated by businesses and the public and other things are purchased in bulk by Foster Hope using cash donations.
To help us reach our target of 1000 kits in 2010, your $40 will cover the cost of one kit. Donations can be made directly into our bank account (details above) or by credit card via our Givealittle account or through purchasing a pack on Trade Me.
Coordinate
We need more volunteers to act as drop off points around the country to make it easier for people to donate goods so that we can make up more kits. Please email us your details if you can help.
Spread the Word
Join our Facebook Fan page for the latest information, photos, pack details and drop off points and tell all your friends about us too.
