Carl's Jr. Coupon Books Could Make Us A Fortune!
One of the ways we pay for the services and programs for foster families is through the sale of Carl’s Jr. Coupon Book. These booklets have some great coupons for Carl’s Jr. items and can pay for themselves in one visit. They make great small gift items plus are a money saver to use. Please help us by buying as many books as you can and sell them to everyone you know.

 Why Buy When You
Can Borrow?
We have many pieces of baby equipment that you can borrow if you are caring for a child who is a court dependent. Email me to see if we have what you need for your infant to save you the expense of a purchase.

 Did you know
...
Did you know that that FCAOC is a group of foster parents and community members who are interested in helping foster families in their efforts and we are NOT funded with county, state or federal funds? We are YOUR organization and our main support comes from our Thrift Store proceeds and community members and organizations who believe in our cause. Please help spread the word to other community members who want to do their part to help us. Be sure to tell them that we are a registered 501c3 charity so they know that their donation is tax deductable.
