Set to Thrive

The moment when a child enters the foster care system is a moment of extreme vulnerability and stress, and it can often be traumatic. Set To Thrive seeks to ease that moment, at least a little, by providing a custom bag filled with new, brand name essentials to help set each child on a path to thrive in their new home and community. Many children who enter the foster care system only have the clothes on their backs, and maybe little more. Each custom bag – called a Thrive Bag – is filled with a backpack or duffel, clothing, shoes and hygiene items, as well as other items to help ease the transition. Once Set To Thrive receives an order for a child, our goal is to have that youth’s custom-ordered Thrive Bag delivered within two days.

Goal One: This year we are focusing on fundraising (hold events and attend events), continuing to get our name and vision out, and partnering with at least two major corporations (monetary or product).

Goal Two: Expand our services and partner with more foster care agencies in other Northern California counties.

Goal Three: Expand our services to aid foster kids aging out of foster care.

Since our start (July 2021), our organization has taken multiple seminars and lessons on how to properly invest our time and money to better our organization and help more youth entering foster care.

Having been founded in 2021, we have had to adapt to external changes since the beginning. We are actively learning or doing seminars online and doing most of our communication over the internet. When we do have in-person meetings or attend events in-person, we follow the company's policies toward COVID-19.
