Carter’s Children’s Wear for Babies and Little Girls from KidsFirst and iFoster

Roseville, Ca – May 12, 2012 As part of a national donation of more than 15,000 articles of baby and little girls’ clothing, Carter’s Children’s Wear has teamed up with iFoster to donate dresses, rompers and jumpsuits to mothers and caregivers working with KidsFirst in Placer County.

Just before Mother’s Day, Woodridge Park was a buzz with happy babies, beautiful children and smiling mothers and caregivers as nearly 100 families arrived this morning to pick-up clothing for their infants, toddlers and little girls.  Carter’s Children’s Wear has asked iFoster to assist them in giving clothing to vulnerable children across the country with donations starting in Placer County.  KidsFirst has reached out to the families they serve, families served by partnering agencies, as well as those that qualify for services within the county.  Everyone pre-ordered their clothing earlier in the week.

“iFoster was created to support the heroic caregivers who raising our country’s most vulnerable children. In partnership with Kids In Distressed Situations and Carter’s clothing, iFoster is thrilled to be able to recognize our wonderful foster moms on Mother’s Day,” said Serita Cox, iFoster’s Executive Director.
