We collect and distribute age-appropriate backpacks, suitcases and supportive care items for Georgia's foster children in foster care.

Georgia Cancer Specialists learned about the plight of Georgia’s foster children from the story of one of our employees whose foster child arrived with all of his personal possessions stuffed in a garbage bag.  His few clothes, toys, toothbrush, were just thrown in together, and a couple of his toys were even broken.  As a mother, she wondered what kind of message that sent the child about his importance.  This only emphasizes how de-valued and disposable the child felt.  Her telling of this story, and the desire of many of our staff to participate in a community service project in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was the start of Totes to Tots non-profit organization.

Since 2002, we have partnered with the Georgia Department of Human Services (DFCS).  We have collected and distributed over 80,000 age-appropriate totes and supportive care items to more than 10,000 foster children within Georgia's foster care system.
