Wendy's® Partnership
Making a Life-Changing Difference Together Since 1992
The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is honored to be Wendy’s charity of choice. For more than 30 years, the Foundation has had a special relationship with Wendy’s built on a shared commitment to achieving our shared founder Dave Thomas’ vision that every child has a permanent home and a loving family.
Thank You for Your Support
When you support campaigns like Boo! Books®, Frosty® Key Tags and Round Up for Adoption, you are helping to advance the Foundation’s commitment to finding forever families for the more than 100,000 children waiting in foster care across the U.S.
Boo! Books
Wendy’s $1 Boo! Books are available for purchase in bulk through the Foundation.
All funds raised from the sale of Boo! Books on the Foundation’s website help to find safe, permanent homes for children waiting in foster care across the U.S.
Frosty Key Tags
Your support of the Frosty Key Tags campaign helps the Foundation continue expanding the reach of our national awareness campaigns and innovative programs, so that no child lingers in foster care.
Please check back this fall for 2026 Frosty Key Tag details!
Round Up for Adoption
Available year-round at participating Wendy’s restaurants, customers now have the option to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar to benefit the Foundation.
A small act at checkout makes a big difference.
