Our Story

After witnessing a devastating car accident in Plano, Texas involving the Hart foster family, Michelle Armour-Brown  founded Foster Kids Charity. 

We are a nonprofit organization focused on helping children in foster care have their basic needs met. With the help of our tireless staff, we organize fundraisers, community-building events, and provide critical services for foster children. 

Because we are a small and lean organization, we provide an answer to urgent needs immediately. Rapid responses mean that we are able to prevent foster parents with a lack of resources from surrendering foster kids back to Child Protective Services. Our response time is between 24-48 hours. 

• In 2010, we opened our first office in Dallas Texas.
• In 2011 we received our 501c3 designated charity status.
• In 2012 we won Best Community Partner of Children family services.
• In 2013 we received a grant from Mark Cuban & the Mavericks Foundation to start our food program.
• In 2014 we were honored in the Texas state capitol as Best Community Partner.
• In March 2020 in the midst of Covid 19 , we start servicing CPS in Orange County California supplying food, masks, food gifts cards, clothes & books.
