Join us virtually on June 18 at 7:00 PM to learn more about becoming a licensed foster parent!

This informational session will walk you through the foster care licensing process, what you can expect along the way, and the impact that opening your home can have on a child’s life. You'll hear practical information, have the opportunity to ask questions, and gain a better understanding of what it means to foster.

Whether you're simply curious, actively exploring foster care, or ready to take the next step, we'd love to connect with you and help you discern if fostering might be part of your story.

Comment "VIRTUAL" and we'll send you the link to RSVP.

🚨 Community Need Alert 🚨

We’re putting out an all-call to our community! Our PATH House Street Outreach Team is in urgent need of insect repellents to help protect both our outreach staff and the unsheltered individuals we serve.

Donations of insect repellent sprays or wipes containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus would be greatly appreciated and make a tremendous impact on our outreach efforts.

Many of our neighbors experiencing homelessness are living in wooded areas and are facing increased exposure to mosquitoes and ticks. Access to insect repellent is a simple but effective way to reduce bites and help prevent vector-borne illnesses.

If you feel led to help, please drop off donations at:

📍 Fifth Street Ministries Main Office
1421 Fifth Street
Statesville, NC 28677

Please note on your donation that it is for the PATH House Street Outreach Program.

Thank you for helping us care for and protect some of our community’s most vulnerable neighbors. ❤️
