The Foundling & petitePARADE Invite You To: petiteSHOP, A Children's Charity Pop-up
To raise awareness around National Foster Care Month and our petiteSHOP at The Foundling, we teamed up with fashion photographer Anna Palma and stylist Michel Onofrio for a fun photo shoot with some Foundling youth. The Mott Haven Academy Scholars pictured are just a few of the thousands in New York City that The Foundling serves every day. We're so excited to share more about petiteSHOP and all we can do to support foster youth this May and beyond! #Fashion4Foundling
