When the home finder calls you about a child or children, be sure to ask if they will be arriving with their belongings. They might be coming from another foster home and have quite a lot, or they might be part of an emergency removal and have hardly anything. Also ask about clothing sizes and diaper sizes (if applicable).

Next, call Angela at Foster Blessings to set up a free pizza delivery for the night the children arrive. You can focus on getting them settled and not have to worry about dinner!

Then, call Emily to schedule a "shopping" time for Tiny Threads!
