Here are a few ways you can get involved:
Essentials for families
The day-to-day needs of families include essentials like and diapers and car seats. This wraparound support helps meet the needs of families – from preventing cases of child neglect to arming new foster parents with needed supplies to helping a young adult transitioning out of foster care.
Improving visitation experience
When children are removed from their biological homes due to abuse or neglect, safely reunifying those children with their family is always the initial goal. Children in foster care visit their biological parents regularly at a FamiliesFirst Network office. By improving our facilities, we can make the children and parents we serve more comfortable, growing their bond and helping them along their journey towards reunification.
Group homes
Teens in foster care with specialized needs find support and care in our group homes, run by our team members with Lakeview Center. From helping with day-to-day needs – such as clothing, community outings and extracurricular activities to promote a sense of normalcy – to capital improvements providing a true home-away-from-home, your support has the power to show support for teens in foster care.
