How to Support Foster Youth While Shopping at Walmart
FosterClub, the national network for young people in foster care, is making it easier than ever for shoppers to support foster youth through everyday purchases. Through Walmart’s Spark Good program, customers can now round up their purchase total at checkout on Walmart.com or in the Walmart app and donate the spare change directly to FosterClub.
The initiative, called Round Up for Foster Youth, allows shoppers to turn small change into meaningful impact. By simply selecting FosterClub as their preferred charity, customers can ensure that every transaction contributes to programs that uplift and empower youth in foster care.
"Every cent truly adds up,” said Celeste Bodner, Executive Director of FosterClub. “This partnership creates an easy, accessible way for people to support young people in foster care—no extra steps, no extra time, just real impact."
Walmart’s Spark Good program brings together the company’s community giving efforts into one platform, helping nonprofits connect with customers and associates who want to make a difference. Through the Round Up feature, eligible organizations like FosterClub receive micro-donations from customers who opt in during checkout.
To participate, shoppers simply:
- Shop on Walmart.com or in the Walmart app
- Choose FosterClub as their charity of choice
- Opt to round up their total at checkout
These small donations help fund critical resources, advocacy efforts, and support networks for youth navigating the foster care system.
