Clothing, gear, and other supplies for foster families in the Boston area

When a child enters foster care, families often have only hours to prepare. The Foster Box exists to lighten the load for foster families by delivering curated essentials with care and speed so that when a child arrives, families can focus on connection, safety, and the small acts of love that begin healing.

Our Impact

Since 2016, The Foster Box has delivered thousands of boxes to foster families across the Boston Metro area.  We currently serve five DCF area offices through our Woburn and North Reading locations and are expanding our reach thanks to the generosity of our community.

Every “box” we deliver tells a story of love and a person with the heart to say “yes.”  Whenever you donate, volunteer, or spread the word, you become part of the story and our mission.

How to Help

  • "The Foster Box has been a lifesaver. When we get the call for an infant and don’t have time to buy diapers, baby equipment and clothing, The Foster Box has always come through with what we need. And volunteering at The Foster Box builds community. Coming together to help others has been so fulfilling."

  • "Our experience with The Foster Box has been amazing! When I have a new foster child in my home, I will order some of the things they need and it is always things the kids love. Recently, I needed to replace a car seat for our 1 year old who was outgrowing the one he had and The Foster Box came through as usual! He is so much more comfortable in his new one. I once had a teen brother and sister move in and was able to supplement our shopping with clothes from The Foster Box."

  • "I’m so thankful for The Foster Box, when I have a child more than a few days I utilize your services, I just shopped for a 5 yr old boy today (that I got last night- his bday is today!) because he will be moving on tomorrow. The Foster Box helps me cloth my hotline kids without totally breaking the bank."

  • "Want to sincerely THANK YOU for the wonderful clothes provided to our new foster children, B/G twin 7 year olds. We received some really great pieces and appreciate it so very much. We appreciate you! THANK YOU for all you do!"

    – Foster Parent

  • "Our family is deeply grateful for the incredible support provided by Foster Box throughout our journey as a foster family. With each of our four foster placements, Foster Box has been there to ensure we had the essentials needed to create a safe and welcoming environment for the children entering our home."

    – Foster Parent

  • "Before each placement, Foster Box graciously provided clothing, strollers, car seats, high chairs, diapers, and many other necessities. Their generosity and attention to the needs of foster families removed significant barriers, allowing us to focus on what truly matters—providing love, stability, and care to the children entrusted to us."

    – Foster Parent

  • "Without the assistance of this remarkable organization, we would not have been able to welcome these children into our home so seamlessly. What Foster Box does for foster families is truly extraordinary, and we are extremely thankful for their dedication and compassion."
