For Love of Children

About Us

The mission of For Love of Children, Inc. (FLOC) is to provide financial, educational, and advocacy support to youth throughout the Greater Dayton Area. We serve children from the ages of newborn to 18 throughout the community. FLOC began servicing are children in 1980, and has grown into an industry of volunteers who are passionate about caring for our neglected, abused, and foster care community.

Current FLOC Programs

  • Baby Safe and Sound: FLOC strives to enhance parent and child development through projects, education, and awareness.
  • Betsy Hoobler Skills Center: The Skills Center offers Ohio Graduation Test (OGT) and other educational tutoring support to students.
  • Birthday Club: This program is designed for children from ages newborn to 18 who are in foster care. Children receive a card and age-appropriate gift for their birthday.
  • Christmas For Kids: FLOC provides new toys and gifts for children involved in Montgomery County's Department of Job and Family Services - Children Services Division each year. This is achieved through donations, fundraising, and volunteer support.

  • Read To Me: FLOC supports a children's reading corner throughout our service area. Volunteers are provided to read with children who are then encouraged to take the books home free of charge.
  • Sponsor-A-Wish: FLOC "grants" wishes for foster children to assist them in extracurricular activities and opportunities throughout the year that government funds may not cover.
  • Tools for School: In collaboration with Crayons for Classroom, school supplies are provided to foster children to ensure they are equipped with the proper tools for school.
