Anita Olson

Executive Director

Anita works in partnership with the Board and executes and leads the day-to-day operations of the organization. Ensuring all ongoing programs follow the strategic direction set by the leadership of the organization. Anita is a small business owner and foster mom, with 4 children, including a foster-to-adopt family. Anita's passion to help these foster children coming into her home and others is really a driving force behind Safe Haven Foster Shoppe. Over the past few years her family has opened their home to many foster children; and supplied not only a stable home; but all the necessary "things" that children need. She has personally witnessed the lack of proper necessities these children have when placed into foster care. Her foster-to-adopt child arrived in her home at 2 days old, with no more than a single onesie he received from the hospital as his possessions. Anita has firsthand experienced the sadness of a child taken from their home; as well as the joy of being a part of a new foster family. This emotion drives the vision of Safe Haven Foster Shoppe.
