Family Room

10/16/2026

Our hearts are overwhelmed with gratitude seeing the community come together to support children in foster care at this year's Royal Ball.
Throughout the night, Mike Diamond, Andy King, Emma Skinner, and Carrie Thompson shared powerful messages: the little things aren't small to the children who need them.
As Andy recounted to us: “The big trauma tells you what happened to a kid. The little things tell you what it was like to BE that kid.”
A bed. A blanket that fits his body. Clean clothes that make him proud of himself. A toy that belongs to him. A three-ring binder for science class.
These may seem like ordinary things to us, but for a child navigating the uncertainty of foster care, they can offer comfort, stability, and a sense of belonging when everything else feels unfamiliar.
That is where the Family Room community comes in.
“You have been removed from your family by strangers. You did not choose this. It is not your fault, and you have no control over where you go next.”
Foster parents invest their time, love, and energy in helping children reach that better future. Family Room helps make that possible by providing the things children need, reducing the financial and logistical stress on foster families so they can focus on caring for the children in their homes.
THANK YOU to everyone who made this night happen.
The investments in the lives of children who are in foster care today, so they have a better tomorrow, will have lifelong impacts on so many children.

Our goal is $85,000, and we are so close at $72,000. If you would like to give a financial gift, you can do that at www.familyroomtriad.com/donations

Wishlist Wednesday

The tiniest babies in care often arrive with very little, and one of our biggest needs right now is Preemie diapers.

Having preemie diapers on hand allows us to quickly provide for infants entering care and helps families that foster focus on what matters most, caring for their newest little one.

If you'd like to support children in care, consider donating a pack of preemie diapers. Every donation helps ensure our resource center is ready when a baby needs us most. Here are a few links if you'd like to send directly to our resource center:

Thank you for helping us say "yes" to children and the families who care for them.

A huge thank you to for spending their Serve Day with us a few weeks ago!

For the second year in a row, this incredible team brought their energy, enthusiasm, and willingness to jump in wherever needed. They sorted through coats and Christmas items to help us prepare for our annual Coats & Christmas event, along with tackling so many other tasks that needed to get done around Family Room.

We are so grateful for their continued partnership, hard work, and heart for serving our community. Thank you, Charles Aris, for showing up and making such a difference for the families who foster and the children in their care!

Not everyone can foster, but everyone can help!

A huge thank you to for generously donating diapers, underwear, and hygiene products for the children in care we serve!

These essential items make a meaningful difference for children and families navigating the foster care system. We are so grateful for community partners like Novant Health who help us meet everyday needs and remind children in care that their community cares about them.

This is Family Room - more volunteers than you can imagine- investing their time on Saturday morning in families that foster and children in foster care.
They give a sweet smile to the new foster family who walks in the door.
They give compassion to the scared children who just had to enter a foster home. They patiently help families figure out what size shoes this little one who just joined their home wears, and find the pairs that make him happy.
They pack bags and bags of kid-friendly groceries so they are ready when a hungry child enters a new foster home.
They check each article of clothing to make sure it is clean and appropriate for kids in foster care.
They organize toys so children who are here and do not know anyone, even the person who brought them here, can find them.
They unload the cars and trucks of people in the community who are here to donate items.
They answer the phone with a calm and caring voice when someone calls and says
"We just had a baby in foster care brought to our home late last night, and we need so much."
Families that foster need their community to wrap around them and support them while they are supporting the kids in their homes.
Children in foster care need their community to be there for them, right away, with kindness and compassion.
Family Room is that community. Family Room is not a building; it's people and more people and more people saying "how can I help?" and then helping.

Thank you to every volunteer who makes Family Room a place of love, encouragement, and support for families that foster and children in foster care.
