Foster Kids Charity is starting a project to help with the shortage of foster homes in Dallas being that nearly 20 percent of all DFW foster children live in crisis shelters because of shortages of homes.

The new Group Home/Shelter will be for foster children ages 12 and younger. The charity is asking the public to help raise funds by participating in the 2012 North Texas Giving Day 7 a.m. – midnight Sept. 13 where every donation of $25 and above will be matched if you donate to them through Donor Bridge.

At the Donor Bridge website you can also look through the list of 1,000 other nonprofits participating in North Texas Giving Day.
