The COBYS Care Fund
Designating your gift to the COBYS Care Fund enables us to provide for extra needs that children and families in our care might otherwise go without, such as clothing, birthday gifts, back-to-school items, special outings, and enriching experiences like lessons, camps, and life opportunities for foster and adopted children.
The Care Fund also supports unreimbursed care expenses and our Counseling Center, ensuring access to vital mental health services.
Where Your Gift Makes a Difference
By designating your gift to the COBYS Care Fund, you can directly support care that includes:
Counseling
We recognize the importance of mental health and strive to provide access to services to as many children and adults across our community as possible. Your gift helps to ensure that access can continue.
Enhanced Children’s Preparation Services
Meaningful connections often happen outside the office. Your gift allows caseworkers and therapists to create experiences that build trust during life’s biggest transitions, from entering foster care to reunification or adoption. Whether it’s sharing lunch, playing miniature golf, or celebrating a birthday, these moments help children feel seen, valued, and supported.
Special Opportunities & Experiences
Every child deserves the chance to discover their talents and simply be a kid. Your support helps foster and adoptive families provide opportunities such as sports, camps, lessons, school activities, and educational experiences that build confidence, friendships, and lifelong memories.
Kids’ Closet
When a child enters foster care, they often arrive with very little. Your gift helps provide new clothing, shoes, toiletries, backpacks, blankets, toys, and other essentials that offer comfort, dignity, and a fresh start.
Unreimbursed Care Expenses
Not every expense is covered by county or state funding. Your generosity helps bridge those gaps, providing resources for foster families and supporting the essential behind-the-scenes work that allows COBYS to deliver exceptional care with excellence and compassion.
