There are currently more than 114,000 foster children waiting to be adopted in the United States and 30,000 children in Canada.




The average foster child is nearly 9 years old, and spends about five years in the foster care system. Without the stability and love of a permanent family, these five years can feel like a lifetime.




This Father's Day Weekend (June 16 and 17), however, you can help foster children find good homes. All weekend, participating Wendy's restaurants across the country will donate a minimum of 50 cents from every Frosty product sold to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, which fills a critical gap by funding and supporting full-time foster adoption recruiters in all 50 states. You can help out a great cause just by heading to your local Wendy's!




The goal is to raise $1 million in one weekend to support the work of the DTFA's signature program, Wendy's Wonderful Kids, so treat Dad to a Frosty and help those children who need a family of their own.
