Happy New Year from OK Foster Wishes
 
Greetings!
Your generosity and support have made this a very merry and bright Christmas for more than 8,200 children in Oklahoma's foster system. Thank YOU!
OK Foster Wishes is a 100% volunteer lead organization and helps year round.
Please consider OK Foster Wishes for your year end contributions and be a part of supporting kids and families affected by foster care state wide!
EMERGENCY KINSHIP SUPPORT
Safety equipment, food and beds provided when needed for kinship placements who are not yet receiving financial support from OKDHS. Many of needs are filled thru our partnerships with The Spero Project and The HUB Mission Ministry. 
 
Since July we have helped more than 100 children get out of the shelter and be placed into a familiar family setting more quickly.

FLUX 
A graduation celebration for high school graduates in foster care. Less than 50% of children in foster care complete high school.

This year 17 grads from all over the state joined us to celebrate their accomplishment of beating the odds!
WAM
WALK A MILE
A 1 mile walk to bring awareness to foster care to kick off National Foster Care Awareness month in May.
 
Each year more than 3,000 people gather to show their support of children and families affected by foster care. 
 
Other opportunities to serve came up all year long! We were honored to help when we could. We have been blessed to serve more than 350 caseworkers at the Oklahoma State Conference for Volunteerism. We also partnered with OKDHS & LifeChurch.tv Northwest Campus to provide a day at the OKC zoo and a barbecue dinner for more than 600 people at the annual Foster Family Appreciation Day!
