Fostering Hope is an ongoing Backpack project partnered with DHHS in Saginaw. The project provides the “First Nights Stay” for children who are in a Child Protective Services/ Removal/ Foster Care situation. The backpacks are packed with essentials for the night. Pajamas, underwear, socks, a toy, and age appropriate toiletries. The program, which started in 2019, delivered over 155 backpacks in its first full year. The Club has continued this program into 2025. This project has been funded by Club fundraisers and private Rotarian donations.
