Partnership

Family Care Services is always looking for people, businesses, and organizations to financially partner with our adoption and permanency program! We are very appreciative of any donation. Your contribution helps us continue, improve, and expand the work of adoption in our community by providing the staffing and supplies so that we can work with more children and families to achieve permanency.

Items to Donate

Occasionally individuals or businesses ask if there are any physical needs they could donate to FCS, such as luggage, care bags, backpacks, clothing, or Christmas gifts. We wish we could take and use everything that people want to donate, but storage for larger things (like luggage) is sometimes an issue, and we don’t have a need for some of those things on a frequent basis. If you’d like to drop off donations of some things we use on a regular basis, here are some ideas:

  • Markers, Crayons, Colored Pencils
  • 1" White 3 Ring Binders with Clear Front Pocket.
  • Blank Cards with Envelopes
  • Paints & Paintbrushes
  • Foam Sticker Letters & Shapes
  • Small and Plain Wooden or Cardboard Boxes
  • Sketchbooks, Notebooks, Coloring & Activity Books
  • Packs of Diapers
  • Coffee, Tea, Snacks (or gift cards to purchase) for our resource parent training and support groups
  • Tissues, Cleaning Supplies, Hand Soap, etc.

Photography

Many children who are waiting for their forever family are presented on the PA Adoption Exchange (PAE) website at www.adoptpakids.org. Volunteer photographers are needed to occasionally photograph children to be featured on the website and for photos to be used on their flyers, on posters, in their life books, etc. Interested professional photographers can find out how to be included on the volunteer photographer list by emailing PAE at PAE@diakon-swan.org.
