The Caring Family Network is working on a project to supply new backpacks full of supplies to the foster children they serve and are asking the public for help. Over 100 backpacks are needed before the end of the month according to organizers.
The backpacks can be sponsored for less than $21 and can be ordered online simply by visiting their website http://shop.kitsforkidz.org/catalog/Caring-Family-Network,662.htm.
Caring Family Network appreciates donations of these backpacks and state that each donation helps to make a difference in the lives of foster children and the dedicated parents who provide loving homes to them.
Since 1992, Caring Family Network has provided loving, nurturing, and healing homes to abused and neglected children of Central Texas. By partnering with foster parents in the Austin, Killeen, San Antonio, Kerrville, Lubbock and Brownwood areas, Caring Family Network helps to change the lives of over 600 children annually. Their mission is connecting children, families, and communities.
