NOT EVERYONE CAN FOSTER OR ADOPT BUT EVERYONE CAN DO SOMETHING
Nationally, only 50% of foster families last more than a year & only 8% make it past the 5 year mark.
Lack of social support is the #1 cause of burnout.

Foster families need support to continue providing care to children in foster care.
WRAP teams are volunteers who commit to supporting a local foster family 1x/month for 6 months at a time. -

Foster closet
-
Restore Foster Closet is located at 607 E 15th St in the basement of the Kids Campus. It exists to meet immediate physical needs of children placed in foster care locally.
Within 48 hours, our team individually packs a bag for the child(ren) which includes 5 outfits, pajamas, shoes, toiletries, blanket/stuffed animal, seasonal wear, and school supplies.
Our team delivers the bag(s) along with a frozen meal to the foster family with the goal of showing the family they are supported and the children they are seen and valued. -
