Mankato Foster Care Donations

What We Do

Therapeutic Foster Care is a highly supportive, professional service geared to the best outcomes for children in foster care and families. It is a distinct, powerful, and unique model of care that provides youth with a nurturing and therapeutic family environment. Our approach to fostering is met through the nurturing, modeling and teaching provided by foster parents and through the therapeutic interventions, guidance, support and education provided by mental health practitioners.

Project Location

Collect supplies at your church congregation and deliver to the LSS offices located at 710 South 2nd St., Mankato, MN 56001.

What You Can Do

Most often, when a youth first enter foster care, they come with very few belongings or nothing at all. We would like to help foster youth and foster families during that first day/night, when things are very busy and there is lots of unknowns, to help ease the transition of a new placement.

Project Details

Collect commonly needed items that support foster families and youth, including:

• Gift cards for Target or Walmart.
• Gift cards to local of chain restaurants.
• Pajamas for infants, youth and teens (all sizes).
