FCSF is a nonprofit organization that provides free essential needs services such as clothing, toys, books, school supplies, safe infant care equipment, and more to displaced children in foster and relative care throughout Georgia. Our mission is to strengthen the ability of foster and relative care families to meet the needs of their children and reduce the need for institutionalized care.

We serve displaced children in Georgia who receive zero to base per diem financial support. This includes children in foster care, relative care, kinship care, grandparents raising grandchildren, and youth who have recently aged out of foster care.

FCSF has been serving displaced children across Georgia since 2000 and has supported over 84,000 children through its programs.

Children qualify if they are in a displaced care setting—such as foster care, relative care, or kinship care—and receive zero to base per diem or comparable SSI. Proof of placement and verification are required before receiving services. More details can be found on our services page.

Children may receive age-appropriate clothing, shoes, books, toys, school supplies, bicycles, and safe infant care equipment such as highchairs and strollers. All items are provided free of charge and based season and availability.

Caregivers can request an appointment through our website under “Services.” Appointments are verified and scheduled at our Roswell Distribution Center. For families living far away, we also offer limited mail-out services.

Yes — children may attend with their caregiver under certain conditions.

Children ages 6 and older are welcome to accompany their caregiver and often enjoy choosing their own clothing and items that match their personal likes and style preferences.

Infants and younger children may come if they remain in a stroller during the visit. Strollers are available at the Distribution Center if needed.

Because safety and respect for others are important, children must stay with their caregiver at all times and not run or play throughout the facility.
If a child struggles to follow these rules or finds it difficult to remain close to the caregiver, it’s best not to bring them to the appointment so that the experience can remain safe and positive for everyone.

Families that qualify can attend twice per year for support, Fall/Winter season and Spring/Summer season. Each appointment provides a full seasonal wardrobe and essential items for every eligible child.

You can donate securely online through our website or by mailing a check to our Roswell Distribution Center. Every dollar helps provide essential resources to children in need.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

The Holiday Program allows children in relative care who might otherwise go without gifts to submit wish lists. Community “Wish Granters” purchase gifts so every child feels remembered and loved during the holidays.

Prom-a-Palooza is a day of pampering where teen junior and senior girls in foster and relative care can select prom dresses, shoes, and accessories free of charge—helping them attend prom with confidence and dignity.

Our resale shop helps fund the mission of FCSF by selling donated items that may not meet program criteria or current needs for regular distribution. Every purchase supports displaced children in Georgia.

Our Roswell Distribution Center and offices are located in Roswell, Georgia. Full address, hours, and directions are available on our “Contact” page.
