How It Works
Wendy's restaurants, their customers and other partners raise funds for the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption through customer donations dropped in the now-familiar canisters at Wendy’s restaurants and support from other partners. With the proceeds, the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption awards grants to local adoption organizations to hire recruiters to execute aggressive child-focused recruitment programs targeted exclusively on placing foster care children with adoptive families. The foster children typically served by Wendy's Wonderful Kids recruiters are some of the longest waiting children in foster care. Many have special needs. Recruiters work at building a relationship with the child and attempt to reconnect them to positive people from their past. While Wendy's Wonderful Kids recruiters function similarly to other adoption workers as their goal is to connect children with families, they are adjunct recruiters working with public and private adoption workers solely to connect children with adoptive resources.

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“My first childish doubt as to whether God could really be a good Protestant was suggested by my observation of the deplorable fact that the best voices available for combination with my mother’s in the works of the great composers had been unaccountably vouchsafed to Roman Catholics.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
