The Collette Foundation is excited to work with our partner, The Starfish Foster Home in Xi’an, to help fund their new program – Operation Full Belly.

The home houses about 50 babies. That’s 50 bellies to feed a few times a day, 365 days each year. That adds up to over 54,000 bellies to fill each year… which, let’s face it, makes for a pretty hefty grocery bill.

Expenses related to nutrition works out to approximately:

  • Food — $33,000
  • Whole milk — $10,100
  • Formula — $42,000

We are only too happy to jump in and get involved with this great project to keep the children — the home’s “little starfishes” — well-nourished until they are adopted.
