Packed With a Purpose is the official podcast of Care Package Inbound, created to shine a light on the realities of foster care in Kansas and Missouri, and the powerful impact dignity, community, and compassion can have in a child’s first 48 hours.

​

Each episode brings you behind the scenes of the foster care system through real stories, honest conversations, and expert insight from social workers, foster families, former foster youth, community leaders, and corporate partners who are stepping up to make a difference.

​

We talk about what’s working, where the gaps still exist, and how something as simple as a backpack, packed with essentials and care, can restore hope during one of the most uncertain moments in a young person’s life.

​

This podcast is for anyone who wants to understand foster care better, support foster youth more intentionally, and be part of a community that believes every backpack tells a story.
