Our story

Every child deserves to feel seen, valued, and loved.

Genevieve, founder of Out of the Box
Genevieve

With over 40 years of foster care experience, Genevieve created Out of the Box with Genevieve. Growing up in 16 foster homes from age 3 to 18, she experienced abuse, neglect, and homelessness.

Now she is a foster and adoptive mother and a full-time foster care worker. Her goal is to help give children from hard places a sense of hope. That's why she created a gift box that children can receive every month. When a child feels like their world is falling apart, they can look forward to a box full of encouragement.

Your sponsorship is more than a box. It's a tangible reminder to a child that someone believes in them.

Genevieve began OBXG with her family in 2023. The mission has since grown to include volunteers and caring staff who help make sure every child receives a hug in a box.

Why we do this

Our gift boxes are a tangible reminder that someone cares, packed with encouragement for children navigating the challenges of foster care and adoption.

Each box is more than a gift. It is a message: you matter, you are not forgotten, and there is a whole community cheering for you.
