An Important Update From AOK

Dear AOK Community,

We are excited to share an important update about the future of All Our Kids. After a challenging year, we are sharing this update with renewed hope and a great deal of enthusiasm: it is time to write AOK’s next chapter!

While our Community Closet at 6 Open Square Way has closed and our traditional day-to-day operations have changed, All Our Kids is not going away. Instead, we are returning to our roots and the community-centered approach that has always been at the heart of AOK — creating opportunities for foster, adoptive, and kinship families to connect, support one another, and build a stronger community together, while doing so in a way that is sustainable for the future...

Resource & Support Hub

The fully comprehensive foster parenting info hub for Western Massachusetts.

Community Closet

Come for no-cost clothing and supplies, stay for the community!

Community & Social Events

Events that bring our community together and give our kids a sense of normalcy and belonging.

Foster Kids Are Everywhere!

Foster children are in your child's school, they play with your children at the park, and they attend church with your family. The more we can raise awareness, the more these children and their families will feel supported and strengthened.

The AOK Fostering Guidebook

It Takes A Village, AOK’s commonsense guidebook to foster care in Massachusetts, is a resource you’ll use again and again.

The AOK Coloring Book

Created by cartoonist, professor, and childhood expert, Sally Pirie, the coloring book helps to normalize kids' experiences and have fun.

Everyone Can Help

Everyone can play a part in supporting our families!

AOK stays independent, local, and responsive thanks to volunteering, advocacy, and financial support from the public.

 

Your help matters! Volunteer, advocate, or give to make a real impact.
