Welcome

It is so simple!

Be a Birthday Fairy, a Holiday Fairy or a Tooth Fairy! Give a smile and sense of self worth to a child who has been removed from their family and placed in foster care or a group home.

The children served by Outreach for Kids are in State custody and in foster care, in individual or group homes.

These "special needs" foster children are managed on a day to day basis by the Service Coordinators of Managed Treatment Services (MTS), which is a subdivision of South Carolina Department of Social Services (SCDSS).

As a state agency, MTS cannot directly ask the public for help for these children. Their hands are often tied regarding what they are able to do for the children, as they are constrained severely by the state budget.

OK was formed in 2006 by eight local "moms."  We are all volunteers and have virtually no overhead. Virtually every dime we raise goes directly to help these children. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible.

There are so many ways you can help these children!

  • Perhaps there is a special need of one of the children you would like to meet. We are often given "special requests" for particular children, such as funding for a school trip, clothing needs for a special occasion or summer camp requests.
  • Perhaps you would like to sponsor a child’s birthday, or have a party and ask your guests to bring birthday gift cards to donate to the children we serve.
  • Perhaps your office would like to collect funds or gift cards as part of an office activity.
  • Perhaps you would like to honor a friend of family member by sponsoring a child’s birthday in their name.
