Donate
With the generosity of our donors, we are able to make a lasting impact in the lives of the families and children we serve. It is important to us that we provide each foster and adoptive family in our service area with the opportunity to receive our services and it is because of donations that we are able to do so.
Thank you in advance for your generous support that allows us to make a difference in the lives of the families we serve each year.
​
We have many programs that support our families. When you donate, we will use those dollars where it is needed the most. If you prefer to designate your dollars to a specific program you can do so on the form.
​
You can also donate to Share My Smile by doing your everyday shopping through programs that donate back to us when you shop. We participate in ShopRaise, Walmart Round Up, and Together a Greater Good (TAGG); simply create an account and designate Share My Smile as the organization you would like to support.
Help Purchase Supplies
Imagine being a child, not knowing where you would be living tomorrow. For thousands of children in foster care, this is a reality.
Most kids are taken out of school or taken from their home at night when being placed in foster care. They never even have an opportunity to return home for personal items leaving them with nothing, or a couple items in a trash bag.
Our Care for You Action (backpack program) provides care bags stuffed full of necessities for children entering a new foster home.
We will always need care bags and the supplies that go into them. You can help immensely by simply purchasing items on our list. Every dollar helps! Select the quantities and items of your choice! They will automatically ship to us. And save your receipts for a tax write-off.
Volunteer
Volunteers are integral to our organization. It is important to us to have dedicated and passionate volunteers who want to be a part of something great! We work hard to assist in enhancing the lives of those we serve by providing programs that make an impact. Be a part of something great, make a difference today and join our team!
