“FOR THE SEVENTH GENERATION” serves as a “clearing house” to match those willing to volunteer their time, talents or merchandise to foster children and families in the metro Detroit region. Workers, judges and lawyers identify children and families in need by using our on line donation system. We then recruit individuals and organizations willing to meet those needs. In 2016, over 1,000 Detroit-Area Foster Children, Teens, & Families were helped through our program. Here’s how we did it!!• Our website works by matching online requests by foster care workers with the goods and services offered by members of our community• Foster children and families attend the annual Holiday Bazaar event to receive gifts, celebrate the season and meet Santa Claus.• Foster children and teens receive winter coats courtesy of the Detroit and Grosse Pointe Rotary Clubs' Operation Warm.• Young ones receive books to read through the Busy Bee Book Fair• “Shoppers” visit our Help Closet to pick up items including toys, clothing, household items and electronics.• Foster children and their families receive beds, cribs and bedding throughout the year
