A Dedicated Shopping Experience for Youth in Foster Care at The Twig Fostering Change

In this week’s episode of Fostering Change,  Rob Scheer talks with Lindsey May, Program Coordinator at The Twig, & Nicole Britton, Director of Development at The Twig. They share the history of The Twig and how it remains a resource for children in foster care where their needs are met and provided with love and encouragement.
“Twig” stands for: “The Way to Inspire and Give.” Twig shops are located in Venice and Bradenton, Florida.  There are designated “shopping days” for youth in foster care.

I enjoy sharing with our community how everyone can make a difference in the lives of children in foster care.”
