We have a current foster family that had their washer die yesterday. Does anyone have a working washer they’re not using?

GIVE4MARION IS ONLY A FEW WEEKS AWAY!

We’re getting closer to one of our favorite 33 hours of the year and we need YOU!

Every gift to The Fostering Foundation helps us show up for children in care and the families who say “yes” to them. From urgent needs and placement bags to scholarships, support, and opportunities for kids to simply be kids, your generosity makes a real difference.

And this year, we’re looking for 10 local businesses who want to partner with us during the 33 Hours of Giving! 🎉 Whether you want to host a fundraiser, offer a special promotion, match donations, donate a portion of sales, or come up with something completely unique we’d love to dream it up with you!

Interested in partnering? Email us today! We’d love to share ideas and find a way that works for your business. [email protected]

Give4Marion is coming, and we can’t wait to see our community come together to love, support, and be the hands and feet of Jesus for children and families right here in Marion County.

As we’re planning for the upcoming school year, we want to make sure we’re offering the support that truly makes a difference for your family.

No idea is too big or too small—we’re listening! Your feedback helps shape the programs and services we provide.

And while we’re at it…

🎉 Give4Marion is right around the corner! Last year, our internal fundraising competition was so much fun, and we’re planning to do it again!

We’ve been keeping a little secret… 🤫📦

Yesterday, we had the incredible privilege of serving hundreds of children and caregivers at our Back to School Bash and Glow Pool Party. We ended the night exhausted, grateful, and overwhelmed by God’s goodness.

And today… we packed it all up and MOVED! 🎉🏡

The Fostering Foundation officially has a new home.

What a beautiful reminder that while one chapter comes to a close, God is already preparing the next. This office has held countless answered prayers, late nights, celebrations, tears, and memories we’ll cherish forever. We are so thankful for every family, volunteer, donor, and friend who has walked through those doors.

Today, those same hearts showed up once again lifting boxes, hauling furniture, and helping us turn another God-sized dream into reality. We couldn’t be more grateful.

As we settle in over the next few days, you’ll probably see plenty of boxes, lots of volunteers, and a little organized chaos. 😉 But more than anything, we see opportunity. We believe God has incredible plans for this next season as we continue serving children in care, caregivers, and our community.

Thank you for believing in this mission, praying for us, volunteering beside us, and reminding us time and time again that we were never meant to do this alone.

Here’s to new beginnings, fresh vision, and faithfully following wherever He leads. We can’t wait to welcome you to our new home soon! 💙📦

🎉 Calling All Supporters! 👟

We are absolutely blown away by the response to this year's Back to School Bash! As of this morning, we have over 240 children registered, with more than 30 registrations coming in overnight alone!

Because of this amazing community, we're in great shape on backpacks and school supplies. But now we have one final hurdle...

We need SHOES!

With the event happening tomorrow, time is short, and we'll be heading out to shop for all of the remaining sizes still needed. Right now, we're approximately 60 pairs of shoes short (and that number could grow as more registrations come in).

Would you consider sponsoring a pair of shoes, or even a few? Every gift helps a child walk into school feeling confident, excited, and loved. There is something so special about watching each child choose the pair they love most. For many, it's the first time they've been able to pick out something brand new just for them.

Every dollar makes a difference, and every pair tells a child, "You matter."

If you'd like to help us cross the finish line, you can donate here:

Thank you for continuing to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

We cannot wait to see the smiles tomorrow because of your generosity. ❤️
