Foster Family Support
WAYS TO SERVE A FOSTER FAMILY
Foster families can't do it alone, and they shouldn't have to. Meals, childcare, respite, and simple encouragement are all ways you can help carry the load, no matter how much time you have to give.
This is an ideal first step to support a foster family before making a deeper commitment. Care teams provide help with meals, babysitting, outings, and transportation to foster families 1-2 times a month.
BE A RESPITE FAMILY
Do you have the capacity to be an aunt/uncle to a child in foster care?
Can you be available for overnight care as needed (potentially for consecutive nights)?
Can you support a foster family and child by providing day and/or evening support to a couple?
BE ON A CARE TEAM
Do you have the capacity to have children come live with you for days/weeks/months while the birth parent(s) works on correcting issues that stand in the way of their relationships with their children?
Oftentimes these children have unique needs, and can be different from your own children.
