The "Adopt a 2026 High School Senior from Foster Care" campaign is here!

Complete all required fields on the form and click Next or Back as needed.
→ You must click YES to agree to the Terms of this project in order for your quilt to be included in the count.

Once submitted, you’ll receive a confirmation email.

Quilt Size Requirements:

Fabric: New fabric only. Scrappy or coordinated designs are welcome.
Condition: Please do not submit used quilts.
Labeling: If you label your quilt, please refrain from adding any religious remarks (per DFPS request) and do not put the year on the quilt.
Care: If you wash before donating, please use allergy-free/dye-free detergents. Labels: Care labels are encouraged and welcomed. Do not put the year on the quilt.

Sizes: Throw Size (50x65) or Twin Size (70x90)
T-Shirt Quilts: We cannot accept t-shirt quilts.

Important Style Note:
Quilts should be as gender neutral as possible. Any designs with very childlike or juvenile prints are not recommended. These gifts are for graduating high school seniors who are moving into young adulthood. Many have had to grow up quickly and deeply appreciate quilts that feel age-appropriate and empowering.

If you provide or donate* LAQ services, please enter your requirements below, along with your preferred timeline for completing the work and the best way to contact you.
*The IRS does not allow you to deduct the value of your time or labor as a direct charitable contribution. So if you donate hours of quilting service, you personally cannot deduct an hourly “rate.” However, you can deduct any out-of-pocket expenses you incur while donating the service. For example, thread, batting, needles, backing fabric, or even mileage driven to deliver the quilt. Day 1 Bags will issue a tax acknowledgment letter.

OPTIONAL: I’m unable to make any items or participate this year, but I’d like to contribute toward the graduation gift (Gift Cards, Journals, or Transition-to-Adulting Supplies). Your financial donation is tax-deductible and will be restricted to a Class of 2026 senior gift - projected 550 high school seniors.)

Final Steps:
The Regional Coordinator(s) will serve as your primary point of contact throughout this program. They will confirm your selections and provide guidance on region-specific details, including timelines, the number of seniors, and other important updates.

If at any point during the school year you are unable to complete your commitment, simply let your Regional Coordinator know.

We are deeply grateful for your generosity toward youth in foster care. High school graduation is an incredible milestone, and your gift makes this achievement even more meaningful for these youth!
