'Our mission is to provide everyday essential needs for kiddos in foster care. It's beds, it's hygiene products, school supplies, things that they deserve and they need,' said Stacie Shelby, The Foster Alliance.
The new organization, which is now just called The Foster Alliance, is working with several groups to achieve their goals, including the New Mexico Children, Youth, and Families Department, the Arizona Department of Child Safety, and representatives from tribal and pueblo nations.
