Fostering Hope

At Stitched Together, we believe every foster child deserves to feel seen, supported, and deeply loved — especially those navigating foster care for the first time. As a local nonprofit, our mission is simple but powerful:

To Foster HOPE in the lives of children and teens in the foster system.

Some of the children who enter foster care arrive with nothing — not even the basics:

A baby discharged from the hospital with no diapers or formula. 
A child dropped off in a foster home wearing a shirt and pants two sizes too big because it was the only clothing a caseworker could find.
A teen rescued from a traumatic night, longing for distraction and comfort in a brand-new foster home.

In Franklin County alone — the county with the largest foster‑youth population in Ohio — FCCS had custody of approximately 2,626 youth in 2024. 
That means hundreds of children could arrive at a new home any given day with nothing but uncertainty, and too often, nothing to call their own.

At Stitched Together, we believe every child entering foster care deserves more than uncertainty — they deserve dignity, comfort, and hope. That’s why your support matters now more than ever.

What We Do

Back-to-School Bash

Back-to-School Bash

During back-to-school time, we partner with  Alicia's Closet for a Back to School Bash. Our annual Back-to-School Bash brings together the foster care community for an afternoon of fun, community, and celebration while providing essential school supplies and gift cards to help them start the year with confidence.

Hope Cases

Hope Cases

Hope Cases are age-specific bags filled with comfort items and essentials for children who are entering the foster care system. Hope Cases ease their transition with something to call their own. We currently offer Hope Cases for preemie, baby (newborn-24 months), kid (2t-12 years old), teen (13-18 years old). All items are new with the exception of books. We accept well-loved used books.

Education

Education

We aim to bring awareness to our community  about foster care and issues facing the foster kids and families. We love to partner with churches, schools, work places and groups. Want more information on becoming a foster care or curious about what foster care is? We can help!
