iBelong Backpacks
Columbia Adoption Project is working with Great Circle, Missouri Children’s Division, Coyote Hill and Rainbow House to support foster children in Boone County. Foster children often bring little to nothing when they are placed in a foster home. To help with this need the iBelong Backpacks were created. iBelong Backpacks are filled with items that are useful and comforting for the children, are are given to them when they are placed in a new home.

The Giving Tree
The Giving Tree is a way for the community to help ease the load of foster parents
at Christmas time, and to bless foster children with their Christmas wishes.
In 2013 over 200 children received gifts through the Giving Tree!
This year the need is even greater. If you would like to participate in fulfilling a foster child’s wish list, the Giving Tree will be set up in front of JC Penney from Nov. 24th to Dec. 14th.
For more information, or if you would like to be a part of working with the Giving Tree please contact through Facebook “Boone County Giving Tree”

Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose
