JOIN US IN SERVING OUR LOCAL MINISTRY PARTNER!
"It is estimated that 400,000 children nationwide are in the foster care system, and roughly 40% of all households who begin the foster care process quit after just one year because there is not enough support. God breathed a vision and a hope for the foster care system in Franklin County: Fostering Love... Through monthly social events, relationships formed and revealed a need for respite, an opportunity for foster parents to rest apart from their children. With social events and respite nights, trust between the children, families, and the agency was established. As foster families found support through Fostering Love events, our vision began to grow. God was at work and we were ready to join him... We are now committed to engaging our cities, states, and nation to foster love to foster care so that every agency is seen, every family is known, and every child is loved." - Fostering:Love's StoryWe partner with Fostering:Love’s mission, to foster love to foster care - to make every agency seen, every family known and every child loved. One way we can work toward this vision is through our Fostering:Love x Movement Church Respite Nights!
Every month, volunteers gather at the Movement Church building. They set up games, blow up bounce houses, pick up some pizza and put on some movies for families currently in the foster care system in Franklin County - specifically though Adrial Adoption Services. Parents are able to drop off their kids for a few hours and recharge, while knowing their kids are well taken care of (and at no charge to them!) Our volunteers even send them home with some frozen dinner meals for the week!
We are always looking for more volunteers to assist on these nights! If you’re interested, please fill out the form below! A Group Leader will be in touch with you shortly with more information!
