Caring About Kids raises money to benefit foster children who have been placed in foster care by the court, and their placement is supervised by any of the foster care agencies in Ingham County.  These agencies are the Ingham County Department of Health and Human Services, Bethany Christian Services, Child and Family Charities, Samaritas and St. Vincent Catholic Charities.

Caring About Kids is willing to provide a myriad of goods and services to children in foster care, such as tuition scholarships for educational purposes; tuition at camp in the summer, athletic fees and clothing, birthday presents, books, art supplies, eyeglasses and other “extras” that cannot be met from usual sources.

HOW DO WE DO THIS?  All our funds come from general donations including donations from the OIG Annual Golf Outing, pop can collections, special fund-raising events and private donors. 

Please contact your case worker if you have a child, you believe could benefit from the support Caring About Kids provides. Whatever that little something is, if it could make a difference in the life of a child in foster care, please make the request. We may be able to help.  Click here to fill out a form for your case worker.  Please make a copy of the form for your records.

Caring About Kids would love to hear from you!  Click here to send us an email and let us know how that “little something” from Caring About Kids impacted your child or you. We never divulge names or identify any foster child that we help, but your story helps us continue our mission.  Please call (517) 927-9219.
