Will we see you there?

Join Virginia's Kids Belong and Tennessee Kids Belong as we partner together with others for this exciting event to kick off Foster Care Awareness Month (a day early!)

Every Child, Every Family: A Foster Care Summit will be held THIS THURSDAY April 30 from 4p-7p at Bristol Motor Speedway.

This is a free chance to learn about becoming a foster parent and to ask those burning questions that are keeping you from saying YES to a child who needs a safe, stable, loving home to grow, heal, thrive and belong.

If you are anywhere in the Southwest Virginia area or Northeast Tennessee you are WELCOME!

Need more info -- just ask!

The first STEP is awareness… like what we did there 😉…. Are you up for supporting a great cause?

A number that stopped us in our tracks.

368,000.

That's how many children are in foster care in the United States right now. Not a statistic. Not a headline. 368,000 real kids waiting for safety, stability, and someone to show up for them.

This May, in honor of National Foster Care Month, we're doing something about it.
We're walking one step for every single one of them as part of our Heroes in Motion challenge and we need YOU to walk with us.

Every step you take = a child being seen.
Every dollar raised = real, meaningful support for ALL of the programs we run here at Friends of Foster Care.

From mentorship to resources, from awareness to action, your steps fuel everything we do for foster youth in our community.

368,000 steps. 368,000 reasons. One powerful month.

Have you ever wanted to foster a child, but don't feel like you have enough time to devote to them? Did you know there is still a way to give back? In foster care, we have foster parents who are considered part-time or what we call "Respite". For example, part-time foster parents open their home to a child just for the weekend. Whether it be one weekend or one week, we need your help! For more information about becoming a part-time foster parent, please call Values at (276) 870-1487.

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about how foster care works and why it’s so important to have supports in place. You can also learn how you can be part of the story even if you are not able to be a foster parent at the moment.
