Proven track record of helping children and families through impactful programs

Churches have the unique ability to bring people together. Partnering with local churches expands our reach and provides a support network for foster families. Churches can provide practical assistance, such as hosting events, offering resources, or organizing drives for donations. Their support strengthens our collective ability to address the needs of children and families within our community.

Why Choose Families 4 Families?

At Families 4 Families, we understand the importance of maintaining the bond between siblings in foster care. Many children who enter foster care have experienced significant trauma, and being separated from their siblings can add to their emotional strain. We are committed to ensuring that siblings are placed together whenever possible, providing them with the stability and support they need to heal and thrive in a loving, unified home.

What People Say

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering can be incredibly rewarding to make a difference in your community. There are various opportunities available that allow individuals to support foster families in practical and meaningful ways. Every volunteer role plays a part in easing the challenges these families face. Let’s explore some of the ways you can get involved.

Date Night

Volunteers who help with Date Night allow foster parents to take a break and enjoy time together. This small but important act provides much-needed respite, allowing parents to recharge. While parents enjoy their time out, volunteers care for the children, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. This simple gesture goes a long way in supporting foster families.

Meals for Families

Mentoring/Babysitting

Mentors and babysitters offer essential support by directly interacting with the children in foster care. Mentors serve as positive role models, helping children build self-confidence and providing them with stability. Babysitters allow foster parents to take time for themselves, knowing their children are in good hands. Both roles play an important part in creating a sense of normalcy and care for children in foster homes.

Flexibility of Volunteer Roles

Volunteer opportunities offer flexibility, making it easy to contribute no matter how much time you can commit. Some roles require only an hour a week, while others might be on an as-needed basis. This flexibility ensures that everyone can find a way to give back, regardless of their schedule. Whether you have a few hours to spare or a more regular commitment, there’s a volunteer role that fits your availability.

It also simplifies the process of helping others, as you can buy a gift card in just a few clicks and have it delivered directly.
