In 2023 we are hoping to get at least 100 Chromebooks out to kids to be used exclusively for The Give and Care Foundation education program. Our goal is to provide ongoing academic workshops to ensure youth do not fall behind in their learning. Providing academic enrichment and social and emotional learning dramatically improves the outcomes for success. This also provides a fun way to make up for lost learning time over the past few years. We love to provide opportunities for youth to spend time with people that will bring inspiration, motivation, and joy to their lives. Please help us support this mission on the Donate page.

 

Since June of 2020, The Give and Care Foundation (TGACF) has donated over 300 “Busy Boxes” to Foster Youth in Minneapolis/St. Paul and across the State of Minnesota. During the height of the COVID pandemic, TGACF provided foster care children fun and educational opportunities to do while social distancing. One child stated, she felt like “it was Christmas!”

“The girl’s eyes lit up with the sight of the busy box and was so excited! While the adults were talking, she opened each color of the Play-Doh, tested the giant slinky out, and then played catch with the Velcro ball/catch game. They were both so appreciative and having so much fun with lots of laughs and smiles!”
