Project
Sunshine: Foster Home Edition is a fundraiser
and service
project
all in one!
After children are
removed from their homes they often wait for hours in agency rooms until a
foster home is located. The rooms are also used for weekly visitation between
the children and their birth parents while they are in care. Project Sunshine
was birthed out of a desire to create friendly spaces for kids during this dark
time in their lives.
Project Sunshine: Foster Home Edition simply takes the Project Sunshine concept and applies it to a foster parent's home and at the same time raises funds for The Forgotten Initiative!

For this year's
project, teams of volunteers will be renovating two foster homes in Peoria,
Illinois. Teams will complete projects such as replacing windows and doors, plumbing
and electrical work, landscaping, deep cleaning, de-cluttering, and other
repairs and improvements to the homes. Each volunteer will raise sponsorship
for the day of work and all of the money raised will go to support The
Forgotten Initiative. (visit the forgotten initiative website here).Project Sunshine: Foster Home Edition // Meet the Families from The Forgotten Initiative on Vimeo.
