Hi, my name is Catrina Coe, and I’m the founder of Foster Box, a nonprofit dedicated to nourishing bellies and protecting smiles. As someone who is passionate about both food and dentistry, I started Foster Box to support young people living in foster care, homeless shelters, and transitional housing.
Our mission is simple but essential: to provide nutritious meals, dental hygiene kits, and educational resources that promote both physical and emotional well-being. Because when someone doesn’t have access to food, they lose energy, focus, and strength. And when someone can’t care for their teeth, they often lose confidence, comfort, and long-term health.
We deliver home-cooked meals or convenient non-perishable options for youth experiencing food insecurity. Alongside that, our dental kits include toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, mouthwash, and lip balm — paired with our Smile Bright pamphlet that teaches oral care in an accessible and empowering way.
I believe that no young person should go without a meal or a way to care for their smile. So I’m asking for your support.
