Located inside Jose's Closet service center, Emma's Eats provides food for the families of foster, kinship, and adopted children.
There are 15,000-20,000 children/youth in foster care in Arizona every year. We support the families that support these vulnerable young people. Foster children may arrive at a new home with nothing but the clothes on their backs. This can be traumatic to the children, and presents a challenge to foster families, who need to quickly acquire the items these children and youth need.
We work with local groceries stores and food rescue organizations to supply our shelves, refrigerators, and freezers.
We provide support to the entire family, not just the child in foster care. We feel the best way to support the children who need our help is by supporting the needs of the whole family.
At risk children may be in the foster care system, placed with relatives (kinship care), or adopted (frequently by their foster families). Emma's Eats is available to all foster, kinship, & adoptive families who care for these special children.
