Foster and Adoptive Parent Dinners

Parenting can be hard. Parenting children who come from a background of trauma can be especially hard. Isolation, frustration, and burnout are real issues foster and adoptive parents face. Our monthly dinners are a chance for parents to connect with others who are walking the same path and to share their experiences and stories. If you would like to be a financial sponsor for one of our monthly dinners, please contact us.

Clothing Closet

The clothing closet at the foster care resource center is our most used program! Families are constantly in need of clothing for new kids who enter their home, as well as children who are constantly growing and changing sizes. We provide clothing, shoes, baby gear, bedding, and more to foster and adoptive families on a weekly basis. You can click HERE to learn more about the clothing closet. We also welcome volunteers to help at the resource center!

Foster Parents' Night Out

We are looking for churches in Mobile County and Baldwin County to provide a Friday or Saturday night respite event for foster and adoptive families. Your church provides the childcare and a meal for the kids while parents have an evening to connect, take care of errands, or even get caught up on laundry. This is so helpful to our families and the kids love it. Contact us to get your church on the 2021 calendar!

New to Care Bags and Meals

When a child enters foster care, they are often in need of basic essentials like toiletries, clothing, and more. We provide new to care bags (also called Journey Bags) to children as they move into a new home. We love to include a little something special to remind them they are loved! We also try to include a meal or snacks for the family who is adjusting to a new child in their home. Something as simple as a meal can make those first crazy days a little less stressful! If you receive a new placement or welcome a new child into your home, give us a call!

Trauma-Informed Parent Trainings

Each Fall, we host the Secure Foundation Conference for foster and adoptive families. This conference is an inspiring event that helps to train and motivate parents as they welcome children into their home through foster care and/or adoption. The 2024 Secure Foundation Conference will be held Sept. 6-7 at Dayspring Church in Mobile. For more info visit: https://subsplash.com/dayspringbaptistchurch/lb/ev/+k6mh6rt.
