When a child is removed from their home and placed with a family member, foster family, or in a congregate care home, they often arrive with nothing more than the clothes on their back. More Than a Bed provides essential items—beds, clothing, shoes, diapers, toys, and more—at no cost to children and families. This support not only helps ease the financial stress of caregiving, it helps a child to feel seen and valued.

In 2024, there were nearly 10,000 children in foster care in Arizona, yet under 2,000 licensed foster homes meaning that many foster families provide care for more than one child. Similarly, kinship caregivers often welcome sibling sets into their homes. Caring for multiple children, while important and rewarding, can create unexpected challenges for the families and opportunity barriers for the children. More Than a Bed comes alongside caregivers to help provide a safe, nurturing environment where children can be cared for, have their basic needs met, and grow to their fullest potential.
