Creating Brighter Futures for Youth in Foster Care ... Together.

 

Who is the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption?

Right now, 100,000+ children are waiting to be adopted from foster care in the United States.

Created in 1992 by Wendy’s® founder Dave Thomas who was adopted, the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is a national, nonprofit public charity dedicated to finding forever families for children in foster care who are too often overlooked.

Proud to Partner.
Committed to Youth.

The Roof Maxx family — including team members, dealer partners, vendors and customers — is proud to partner with the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption to help find safe, permanent homes for children in foster care.

By donating a portion of annual product sales and raising critical awareness, Roof Maxx is making a lasting difference in the lives of the children who need us most.

How do we help children lingering in foster care?

Every year, nearly 20,000 young people age out of the system without a permanent family. With no one to turn to for support, they are much more likely to experience homelessness, unemployment and other negative outcomes. It’s heartbreaking.

That’s why the Foundation is aggressively working to expand its foster care adoption program that serves the longest-waiting children in foster care, including teenagers, children with special needs and siblings.

Stories of Impact

A Family That Stays: BRIDGETT’S STORY

By the time she was 15, Bridgett had already lived in more foster homes than she could count. Just before Christmas break, she was facing another move, when her high school principal invited her to stay with his family. It was meant to be temporary, but it quickly became obvious that this would be Bridgett’s forever home.

A Place to Call Home: XAVIER’S STORY

As he neared 18, Xavier felt lost and scared, unsure what awaited him if he aged out of foster care. He didn’t think adoption was possible — until he met Joe. Now, Xavier finally has the stability to dream about his future.
