Foyer de Sion always welcomes donations that help us provide for the children in our care. Currently the only way Foyer de Sion can receive these much needed donations is by personal delivery. When you join us on a volunteer trip we encourage you to collect and donate any of the suggested following items. Since Foyer de Sion cares for children of varying ages, we have very diverse needs that range from medical to recreational supplies and everything in between. The contributions will help FDS improve the lives of the children in our care.
