Where We Give
Delaware DIVISION of Family Services
The Mission of the Division of Family Services is to promote the safety and well-being of children and their families through prevention, protection, and permanency.
DFS works closely with our sister divisions, other state and federal agencies and community child welfare partners to ensure the lives of children and families who need our services are transformed for the better.
DFS is the primary organization we give bags to. We give them a matching set of a duffle bag and a toiletry bag so that each child entering foster care has a bag. We also provide DFS with enough toiletries so that they can fill the toiletry bags with age- and gender-appropriate items.

fostering wishes foundation
Fostering Wishes Foundation partners with DFS and Delaware Office of the Child Advocate statewide to grant wishes to the kids in their care.
Abused and neglected children are separated from their family, siblings and friends, belongings shoved in a garbage bag and moved to a stranger's home or group home through no fault of their own.
Fostering Wishes Foundation provides the kids with everything they need, while in care and when aging out at 18, by providing comfort, hygiene, clothing, sports equipment, field trips, books, hobby support, suitcases and duffle bags, prom experiences and even household goods for their first independent living situation.
We give Fostering Wishes Foundation duffle bags and toiletry bags, in their support of young adults who are aging out of foster care and embarking on their new independent lives.

The Barbara K. Brooks Transition House provides a safe, sober, and structured living environment for women who are in recovery from life controlling circumstances. Our home in Georgetown, Delaware is one of the first group homes for typically traumatized and vulnerable women, who must re-enter a world filled with challenges. In small group settings, women support each other while learning about personal financial stability, job skills and searches, social interaction, and spiritual growth.
