A launch box is a cloth or soft sided laundry basket filled with everyday necessities and supplies a young men and women (ages 18-21) may need for transition into a new apartment or house. These boxes are then given to Tennessee Department of Children Services workers to give to the young adult as they transition out of the foster care system. These boxes serve as tangible and practical gifts of encouragement.

Each year thousands of teens age out of the foster care system and often need extra support to help them start their new lives as adults. Providing them with everyday necessities and supplies not only helps launch them into independent living, it also shows them that they are not alone.

Anyone can fill a launch box. You can do it as an individual or with family, friends, coworkers or your small group.
