Serving families in the DMV area has been one of the great joys of our work. From the very beginning, our heart has been to make sure foster, adoptive, and kinship families feel seen, surrounded, and supported—and that remains true.

As we look ahead, we’re making a thoughtful shift in how we serve in this region so we can focus our energy on fewer programs and sustain them with excellence and consistency. While some programs will be coming to a close, others will continue, and our mission has not changed.

This decision was made with care and deep gratitude for the families, volunteers, and partners who have made this work possible. We remain committed to walking alongside families and stewarding our resources in a way that allows us to serve well—both now and for years to come.

Please visit our website to read a letter from our founder, Jamie Finn, which outlines specifics about the transition and how and where we will continue to serve families in the DMV area.

To our DMV community: we love you, and we are grateful for you.

Looking for a meaningful way to support kids entering foster or kinship care? 💛 Host a supply drive with your church, business, or organization!

Within the first 48 hours of a child entering care, our volunteers deliver a Care Package filled with essentials including clothes, toiletries, pajamas, activities, and a meal for the family. Your partnership helps us keep our shelves stocked and ready to respond the moment a family needs support.

When you sign up, we’ll send you a list of our most-needed items plus flyers, graphics, and everything you need to run a successful drive.

Thank you for helping us build homes of healing and belonging for children and families across the DMV. 🫶

A huge thank you to our host for Winter Wonderland, Fairfax Church of Christ!

Not only have they opened their church to our team and families for the event, but they also make space for us to store all of the goodies and gifts there ahead of time.

They’re an incredible partner, and we are so grateful!

It takes a village, and this is your chance to be a part of ours!

In the past week and a half, we’ve had 8 care package requests in our NOVA office. We have a high priority need for diaper bags, Walmart gift cards for infant formula, and frozen bread/dessert.

Shop and ship from our wishlist https://a.co/4VHvFDa or reach out to Mel at [email protected] to coordinate frozen goodies!

Thanks for making a difference. 💛
