About The Orphan Foundation of America

The Orphan Foundation of America advocates for older foster youth who were never adopted, offering them a support program. The Freddie Mac Foundation is the founding partner of the National Care Package Day Program, and Gifts In Kind International and Otis Spunkmeyer are sponsors. FedEx is the official carrier of the Care Package Program.

The Red Scarf Project is part of the National Care Package Program created by Orphan Foundation of America and the Freddie Mac Foundation to ensure that young people aging out of foster care are encouraged to succeed as adults. Three times a year care packages let foster youth experience the same excitement as their friends when they receive a box from home. These packages help to show them that they are valued citizens in the wider community. The annual back-to-school event is held on Capitol Hill in September, hosted by Members of Congress and their staff.
