About us
Foster Love formerly Together We Rise is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization comprised of motivated young adults and former foster youth. Our vision is to improve the lives of foster children in America, who often find themselves forgotten and neglected by the public. We collaborate with community partners to bring resources to foster youth and use service-learning and team building activities to educate corporate and individual volunteers on issues surrounding the foster care system. We work with hundreds of foster agencies, social workers, CASA advocates, and other partners to bring our programs to foster youth across the nation. Our foundation has allowed us to provide thousands of foster youth across the country with new bicycles, college supplies, and suitcases so that children do not have to travel from home to home with their belongings in a trash bag.

Foster care news you need to know ⬇ 1. The state of Georgia is introducing a new scholarship fund (the first of its kind) that will help former foster youth attend one of the state's 26 public universities or colleges, pledging an initial grant of $10 million. 2. Starting October 30th, Methodist Foster Care is offering an orientation for future foster parents. Methodist Foster Care works closely with the Department of Children and Family Services to find homes for kids who need that extra support. 3. National research shows current housing solutions do not meet the needs of youth experiencing homelessness. Only one-third who enter local systems enter a permanent housing program and traditional housing vouchers serve less than 2% of young-adult-headed houses. #FosterCareNews #FosterLove #Nonprofit #FosterCare

Exciting news! We’re proud to announce our Safelite Foundation’s first national partnership with Foster Love! We can’t wait to share more as this collaboration kicks off.
Today, I’m sharing exciting news: Our Safelite Foundation has a new and first national partner — Foster Love, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children in foster care. Our alliance marks a significant milestone as Foster Love celebrates supporting its one-millionth child in foster care. To recognize this incredible achievement, the Safelite Foundation is investing $1 million and committing 100,000 associate volunteer hours to implement Foster Love initiatives to deliver unexpected happiness in communities nationwide. For the past decade, Safelite associates have supported Foster Love initiatives by building, assembling and delivering skateboards, bikes and sweet cases. And now, we’re taking a big step by entering into a more profound and meaningful relationship, driving deeper impact to support them. In addition to our financial contribution and volunteer hours, the partnership centers around additional goals, including creating Safe Spaces, funding scholarships for children aging out of the foster system and enhancing a foster-friendly workplace at Safelite. These goals will have a lasting positive impact on the lives of countless children in the foster care system. Over the past seven decades, a lot has changed for our business. Yet, one thing has remained steadfast — our commitment to step forward through our Safelite Foundation to partner with an organization that aligns with our values and gives our people something to take pride in and tell others about. With over 16,000 associates powering our brand daily, I’m incredibly honored by our technicians, who repair, replace and recalibrate glass for millions of customers every year — getting them back on the road safely and on with their day. Yet beyond the glass, the communities where our people live and work see a clear difference in who we are. We call it our Safelite Spirit — a service mindset, a can-do attitude and a caring heart. We’ll keep our Safelite Spirit at the foundation of our partnership with Foster Love as we prepare our team nationwide to unite and serve them in all 50 states. It’s certainly an exciting time for our Foundation, which focuses on three giving priorities: safety, stability and a sense of belonging. We are also committed to its purpose-driven mission, which includes a robust volunteer engagement strategy. You might enjoy seeing our local operations teams in the LA, Ontario and San Diego markets, along with our retail supply chain and solutions teams, deliver some unexpected happiness to the Foster Love team at their headquarters in Brea, California. What Foster Love’s team thought was a regular tour and giving-back activity turned into one MAJOR surprise. Visit fosterlove.com to learn more about Foster Love and its dedication to raising awareness and opening dialogue about the foster system. I’ll continue to share updates soon. Until then, join me in celebrating this great news and share it with others!

Children in foster care often face challenges that most of us don’t consider, like lack of basic necessities like socks. While it might seem like a small thing, socks are highly requested at homeless shelters and foster agencies.
