2022 Style and Fit Shopping Awards Now Available!

The primary goal of Style and Fit is to provide children in care the opportunity to select school appropriate clothes and footwear that fit their bodies and their sense of style. The award is for $150 (including tax).

Any child or youth (ages 4 to 17) currently in state or tribal foster care in New Mexico is eligible to receive the award; however, the number of awards is limited. Please request right away if you are interested in receiving the award.

Steps for accessing this award:

1. Complete the google request form at the following link:  2022 Style and Fit Request Form 
   Anyone connected to the child/youth, including foster families, caseworkers, GALs/Youth Attorneys, CASAs, and youth themselves, may submit the google request form, although the foster parent or another responsible adult must approve. We plan to have the request form open through 12/1/22.
2. Wait for award notification. Details about the shopping option selected will be provided in your award approval email. Please do not purchase any clothing expecting reimbursement prior to receiving that email.
3. Shop with the child/youth using your selected shopping option. Children and youth should be accompanied by a foster parent or responsible adult at the shopping event.
4. Complete and submit the receipt payment form, if applicable.
