Project Belong

In Virginia, there are over 5600 children in foster care, and many more are in danger of entering. Many Virginia kids cycle through foster homes and institutions, and “graduate” from foster care without belonging to a supportive family. Project Belong believes that every child needs to belong. We work with faith communities to mobilize and train them to make a difference upstream, before a child enters foster care, in the middle of crisis, and downstream, post-child-welfare.

Families shop for free at a welcoming, dignified store, selecting a week’s worth of clothing twice each year.
