MISSION
Our Mission
Nanna’s House is an organization aimed to help ease the transition into foster care. We provide supply kits to case workers for children to have what they need for the first few days of care. These kits are specific to the age and needs of the individual child. A kit for an infant includes diapers, wipes, a bottle, formula, clothes, a blanket, a stuffed animal and toiletries for example. These kits allow resource families to focus on the child for the first few days and not have to run to the store for supplies. Nanna’s House is hoping to expand to provide a physical location for DHHS caseworkers to receive these items and a welcoming environment to wait while they are working on placement for the child. In the meantime, we are working hard to build our stock of supplies to make sure every child coming in to care through the Portland office, has what they need.
Everyone Can Do Something!
At Nanna's House, every donation—large or small—significantly supports our mission to aid children transitioning into foster care. Contributions that provide essential supply kits enable us to meet the unique needs of each child, ensuring they have the necessary items during their first days in care. Additionally, collaborating with local leaders and businesses enhances our efforts to create a welcoming environment for foster families and children. By sharing our mission within your community, you can help raise awareness and inspire others to assist us in this important work. Together, we can ensure that every child entering the foster care system receives the essential resources and support they need for a smoother transition.
