Emergency Kinship Support
 
We help expedite the placement of 
many children out of the shelter and into kinship homes. We provide beds and many car seats. This is possible because of our partnerships with The Hub Mission Ministry & The Spero Project and YOU! We use donations of food, beds, cribs and safety equipment.
 
Email Kristy at OKFW.emerkinship@gmail.com to coordinate your donation delivery of a bed or crib.

Christmas Wishes

This year we have been blessed with God sized favor! We have received commitments for all the current wish lists that we have had turned in at this time.
There are more lists being turned in daily! 

On average 12-15 new children will come into foster care in Oklahoma each day. You can still help by providing for the children who will be coming into care up to Christmas Day! We need help to provide for these children of all ages. You can;

An Oklahoma Christmas tradition is born! Don't miss the amazing Christmas light show with video and sound put on each year by the Stone family in Edmond. We are honored to again benefit from the creative genius and generosity of this family who is crazy about Christmas & kids! The light show will launch November 23rd and run thru Christmas. 

 

A message from The Stone Family; 

This year we are so excited to partner again with OK Foster Wishes to help raise funding to provide Christmas gifts to the over 9,000 children in the Oklahoma Foster Care program.  You will have the opportunity to donate while viewing the show and help make Christmas a little brighter for the kids in Oklahoma Foster Care.  Our goal is to raise $5000 for OK Foster Wishes this Christmas Season!
