Capital Kids Connection collects gifts to give to all of our local foster children. As the holiday season fast approaches, I would urge you to consider your local foster children as the recipients of your generous holiday donation spirit. With the economic downturn, the rise in the number if kids in foster care is currently sky-rocketing, and history shows us that over the fall and winter the number of kids that enter care increases more then any other time of the year.

There are several ways you can partner with CKC in this endeavor:
If everyone picks up 1-2 extra gifts to donate to Christmas Connection it could make all the difference to a foster kid this Christmas!
You, your office, church, moms group, faith community, bunco group....your whatever CAN:
1. Participate in our ADOPT-A-FAMILY or ADOPT-A-CHILD with a specific wish list from one of our foster kids.
2. Do a general gift collection, buy whatever suits your fancy!
3. Put up a giving tree in your location of choice:
* Your office at work
* Ask a local business you frequent if they will allow you to put up a tree
* Ask your doctor or chiropractor if you can put up a tree, do a donation collection, or donation drive
4. No time to shop? Donate gift cards to local businesses like: Costco, Fred Meyer, Wal*Mart, Westfield Mall, Regal Cinemas, Century Theater, Glow Golf, Charlie Safari, Starbucks, Apex Go Carts, Batting Cages, etc...
5. Want to help local teenagers? Teens want cool stuff like: iPods, iTunes gift cards, Wii, Guitar Hero, and Digital Cameras. A group can get together to pool funds to buy one of these! Think about it, whenever are one of these kids going to get something cool like their friends at school? A gift like this would rock their world!
Multiply the power of good! If you spend just $10 on a foster child, and get 10 people you know to spend $10 that is $100 that we didn't have before for our kids.

Our purpose is to promote self esteem and enrich the lives of children in foster care in Thurston and Mason Counties by providing resources, opportunites and activites.

We are looking for businesses, associations, church groups, employee groups, service clubs, and individuals to partner with them on drives, fundraising and providing for special needs.

You can make the life of a foster child brighter with a donation to Capital Kids Connection. CKC is an all volunteer effort, so your donation is directly applies to the children's special needs. Your generosity is then leveraged to provide maximum goods and services. All donations are tax deductable.

Children in foster care are just regular kids, but life has been especially hard on them. They come into foster care because of abuse or neglect and they have had opportunities to enhance their lives. They are in care through no fault of their own. They need your help to have some of the positive experiences most children have as part of a normal childhood.
