The Margie Barilla Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to creating safer, brighter futures for children and young adults impacted by foster care, displacement, human trafficking, and behavioral health challenges. Through safe housing, mental health resources, case management, emergency shelter, residential treatment, and transitional support, we are working to give vulnerable youth the stability and opportunities they deserve.

​

Throughout 2026, the Foundation is hosting national events across the United States celebrating children in foster care, along with fundraising galas benefiting displaced foster youth and victims of human trafficking. Looking ahead, we plan to expand our impact through safe homes, emergency shelters, group homes, residential treatment programs, and resources for youth aging out of foster care. Through fundraising, advocacy, and community partnerships, our goal is to ensure vulnerable youth have safety, support, compassionate care, and a place to call home.
