In a public announcement this week, the nonprofit said DHR staff is in need of gift cards to purchase food for children who must remain at the Tuscaloosa office while awaiting placement or services.

The group said the greatest need is for gift cards to businesses like McDonald’s, Chick-fil-A and Little Caesars.

Children may spend hours or full days at the DHR office during transitions or emergencies, and meal gift cards help ensure they receive food quickly and easily, with minimal costs to the agency.

The Tuscaloosa County Foster and Adoptive Parents Association also collects kits year round that include toiletries, towels and many of the things a new foster kid needs.
