Summer can be exhausting for foster parents. Longer days, no school structure, kids home 24/7 - it's a lot.
If you're a foster parent feeling overwhelmed, you don't have to power through alone.
One Heart offers resources and connections to help:
Respite care: Short-term breaks so you can rest and recharge
Prayer and encouragement: Reach out anytime you need someone to listen
Practical support: Help navigating challenges or finding resources
You can't pour from an empty cup. Taking care of yourself isn't selfish - it's necessary.
Need support this summer? Contact us at [email protected]. We're here.

"Our church community is our extended family! They are extra caregivers, they help us navigate the medical challenges and emotional struggles we face and they actively invest in our kids' lives. They have been a safe space to talk about the struggles that go with adoption and foster care. We would not be where we are without our church family." – Jones Family
This is why we do what we do. Every family's journey is different, but One Heart is here to support you through all of it - training, placement, challenges, and celebrations.
Your church community matters. Your people matter. Your village matters.

We need sponsors for Stewards of Hope!
On October 1, we're hosting our annual fundraising gala - and we can't do it without community partners like you.
True, Stewards of Hope is a fundraiser, but we like to think of it as a night to celebrate the families caring for Missouri's most vulnerable children and to raise the funds that make our work possible. Your sponsorship directly supports foster family training, our Foster Closet, and ongoing resources for families walking this journey.
We're actively seeking sponsors at all levels. Whether you're a business owner, church leader, or individual who wants to make a significant impact, we'd love to talk with you about partnership opportunities.
Contact our Executive Director, Emily Nienhuis, at [email protected] to learn about sponsorship levels and benefits.
Together, we can be stewards of hope for these families.

Summer is here, and we know that comes with mixed feelings - especially for foster and adoptive families.
The routine change and major transitions can be hard for foster children. School is out, schedules shift, and the outside support systems that help during the school year disappear. For parents, summer can feel isolating and overwhelming.
But One Heart is here for you.
You can reach out to us anytime to let us know what your struggles are. We provide resources, prayers, and a listening ear. Whether you need respite care, practical advice, or just someone who understands, we're walking this journey with you.
Summer doesn't have to be survived alone. You're part of the One Heart Family - and families show up for each other.
Need support? Email [email protected] or call us. We're here.

Already thinking about next steps? Our next MO CARE class starts September 14. Applications are due by August 14 - a month before class begins. Interested? Head to ohfm.org to learn more and apply.

As Foster Care Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to say thank you.
Thank you for following along this month. Thank you for learning about foster care, sharing our posts, and showing up for the families and kids in our community.
Awareness is important - but action is what changes lives.
If this month stirred something in you, don't let that feeling fade. Here's how you can take the next step:
✓ Foster or adopt - Our next MO CARE class starts June 1. Learn more at ohfm.org. ✓ Volunteer - Serve at our Foster Closet or help at an event. Sign up at ohfm.org/closet.
✓ Donate - Support our work through one-time or recurring gifts at ohfm.org.
✓ Advocate - Keep talking about foster care. Keep sharing stories. Keep showing up.
The awareness doesn't stop when May ends. The need doesn't go away. But together, we can keep making a difference.
Thank you for being part of our village. 💙

Not everyone is called to foster - but everyone can support foster families.
Foster Care Awareness Month is a great time to ask: how can I help the foster families in my community? Here are some practical ways to make a real difference:
Serve at the Foster Closet: Volunteer to help families shop, sort donations, or organize inventory. Sign up at ohfm.org/closet.
Schedule a serve day: Churches and groups - contact us about hosting a serve day at the closet. Tackle bigger projects together and make a lasting impact.
Send a meal: Fostering is exhausting. A home-cooked meal (or a gift card for takeout) can be a lifeline on a hard day.
Offer to babysit: Give foster parents a night out. It can be hard for them to ask for help, so offering proactively means the world. Even a few hours makes a difference.
Donate to the closet: Spring/summer clothes, diapers, toiletries, new socks and underwear - check our Amazon wishlist for specific needs.
You don't have to become a foster parent to support foster families. You just have to show up.
How will you support a foster family this month?
