Free and Discounted Resources for Foster and Kinship Caregivers
Most of these are available to foster and kinship families, some require proof of caregiver status, usually in the form of a foster care license. This is noted whenever we are aware of it. The Alliance CaRES program does not support or endorse any of the listed items; they are compiled for your convenience. We make every effort to keep these up-to-date, if you know of a correction or an item not listed, please let us know by emailing notifycares@uw.edu
Check out our resource page, or visit your region’s webpage, for places in your area that offer discounts or free opportunities or items to families in the care system.
