The Forgotten Initiative Toy Drive

The Forgotten Initiative is an arm of LifeSong. The goal of the Forgotten Initiative is to care for the foster care community. You can check out The Forgotten Initiative at http://www.theforgotteninitiative.org

A group of people have come together to do a project in Peoria. Project Peoria Sunshine is currently raising funds to renovate the visit room at the Peoria DCFS office. Along with a fresh coat of paint, updated furniture and decorations we are desiring to fill this room with new toys.

Check out the toy donation list at the following site on Facebook. At this list you can leave a comment about which toy/s you would like to purchase and they will send the shipping address to you! How easy is that!

This is a great opportunity to reach out with compassion to those involved in foster care and to let the children in Peoria know that they are not forgotten!

To donate to this project you can send a donation to:

Lifesong for Orphans--Forgotten Initiative Peoria project (this should be in the check memo, too)

PO Box 40

202 N. Ford St.

Gridley, IL 61744


Last I had heard there had been $1200 donated with a goal of $3000.
