For children and youth in foster care, going back to school and getting a guardian to sign the required paperwork acknowledging the classroom rules and syllabus can be a reminder of their living situation.
The children and youth we serve at Five Acres need our support as they begin new school routines, have class projects and enjoy the extras like yearbooks and school pictures. Yet, we can not do it without your help.
As we are committed to working with children and youth in foster care and supporting families and individuals who are willing to open their hearts and homes in providing permanency, we ask for you to also invest in our mission to generate the impact of serving more than 7,000 children and families as they transition to a new school year.
Please consider making a donation as our children and youth have now gone back to school and need support in having the same experiences as other students. If you are still making back-to-school purchases or fulfilling teacher wish lists, please select us as your charity of choice on Smile.Amazon.com. Amazon Smile gives back .5% of eligible purchases to Five Acres if you choose us as the charity of your choice. Purchases must be made through the Smile.Amazon.com URL, which offers the same products and vendors as Amazon.
If you have an existing Smile.Amazon.com, select Five Acres as your charity of choice. If you do not have an account, this is how you sign up.
- Go to Smile.Amazon.com

If you shop on your Amazon Shopping app, with AmazonSmile ‘active’ (your app must be active for AmazonSmile when you make the purchase), then your purchases of eligible products (marked “eligible for AmazonSmile donation” on the detail pages) will result in donations.
P.S. Any donation you make ensures we continue to provide safety, well-being, and permanency in the lives of children and youth in foster care and adoption.
