Children in Foster Care
Children of every age are a part of the foster care system in Arizona. From newborn babies to young adults, Helen’s provides for foster families. Specifically, Helen’s helps children who have a case with the Department of Child Safety and who have been placed in a licensed foster home or group home. Their caregiver must bring Notice to Provider paperwork to each appointment.
Children in Unlicensed Kinship Care
In many cases, children will find themselves removed from their parent’s home and placed with another family member. These families qualify for less financial assistance from the Department of Child Safety. If a child is no longer being cared for by their parents but do not have a case with the Department of Child Safety they may receive services from HHC. In order to qualify, the kinship caregiver must bring Notice to Provider or connect with a partnering kinship program and receive a Kinship Number to use at HHC. We also serve families that have guradianship issued from the courts.
Helen’s provides more than just clothes for kids in foster care. It is important that every youth who comes through our doors feels a sense of confidence, acceptance, and dignity. The boutique environment allows kids to choose their favorite items and feel like they are shopping at a regular store. The extensive sorting process guarantees that kids and youth receive new and like-new items that are current and stylish.
Others
Helen’s also provides an outfit, books, and gifts for biological and adopted children if the family has a current foster placement (birth certificates required).
