How It Works

Haven Foster in Montrose Colorado receives donations of new neccessity items to fill backpacks to give to children (ages 0-18) as they are transitioned into foster placement.  Haven Foster also receives money donations to purchase product to fill these backpacks.  This is a 100% volunteer operation.  Nobody takes a draw of any kind.  Rest assured your donation goes to this location to provide for these children and youth. 

Please keep this in mind when you donate, our board members and directors are volunteers and receive no compensation. Nobody receives any compensation.  Donations go towards Haven Foster only! Thank you for helping!
