Foster Care to Success Red Scarf Project

• Annually, approximately 5,000 foster children turn to Foster Care to Success (FC2S) for the support they cannot get from a parent or guardian – like financial backing for college in the form of scholarships and grants, care packages and family-like encouragement, academic and personal mentoring, and help with internships and employment readiness skills.

• Do you like to knit or crochet?  Whether you are a beginner, an expert or somewhere in between, your handiwork can send warmth and encouragement to a student from foster care.  The handmade red scarves in our Valentine’s Day care packages become treasured keepsakes that our students wear for years.

  “Your hands are a window into your heart and soul.  There is love in every stitch, and a handmade scarf is like a hug.  The FC2S Red Scarf Project gives us each an opportunity to show that someone out there truly cares about our foster youth.”  Lily Chin, Master Knitter
