Foster Love works exclusively with college campus foster care support programs and government agencies to provide these resources directly to their students in a quick and efficient manner.

Once the student has connected with Foster Love staff, the student can expect approved requests to be funded within a 72 hour period given all necessary documentation has been received and verified.

  • Our FACES students have benefitted so much from the Tech Packs provided by Foster Love.

  • Foster Love has given me safety and security in the face of adversity. When COVID-19 first happened I was terrified for my future and worried that I would face homelessness. Thanks to Foster Love they provided funding to avoid homelessness and avoid going hungry. Words do not describe how incredibly grateful I am to be a part of such a wonderful organization.
    - Student, Santa Barbara City College
  • My experience in accessing support through Foster Love was straightforward and supportive. During the winter break of 2020/21, as well as this current summer break, I was both housing and food insecure. By Foster Love helping me afford to stay in Winter Break housing and assisting me with purchasing groceries, it helped take the stress off of my shoulders.
    - Student, University of Nevada, Reno
  • They have been kind and quick to respond. They went above and beyond to make sure I was okay and made sure to help in any way possible. With COVID-19 ruining so many of my school opportunities they stepped in and helped immensely. Foster Love has meant Exactly what they stand for, helping others rise up to their full potential because no one should have to do it alone!
    - Student, Major: Registered Nurse, Cypress College
