Support & healing for foster care families
Foster Care Support
Foster and adoptive parents need to surround themselves with people who can encourage them when things are difficult. Children are healing and adjusting, and so is the entire family. Our foster care ministry serves to come alongside and support singles and families in our church as they pursue foster care and welcome children into their homes. We would love to help anyone interested in learning more about foster care find the answers they need.
Foster Care Support FAQs
Do you have supplies available to families when they receive a placement?
Can I donate items to the Care Closet?
clothes, car seats, toys, diapers, high chairs, cribs, etc.). When donating items, please ensure they are clean and that clothes are gently used (no rips or stains). Car seats that are donated should not be expired or close to expiring.
Are there any families in the church who can offer respite care?
We can provide you with a list of Walnut Creek families and singles that are willing to help with respite needs. Please contact us as soon as you know you might need help taking care of your foster child(ren) so that there is plenty of time to plan out the details. You will still need to let your Four Oaks worker and DHS worker know in advance when your foster placement(s) will be receiving respite care.
