FOSTER VILLAGE
Lent-Ministry, Generosity, and Service
Partnering with Foster Village



For our Lenten in-gathering this year, we are collecting supplies for parents and their young children that are being served by our ministry partner, Foster Village. All the kits we assembled last year were dispersed so it is time to make more!

We are asked to supply toiletries and infant items to people going through the Parenting in Recovery/Family Drug Treatment Court process of attending rehab, moving into a sober living facility and then transitioning back to independent living.
  • Parents are not allowed to work during this process, so they need help with these necessities.
  • Mothers are allowed to keep their young children with them, reducing the trauma of separation.
  • By providing community support for struggling parents, we can help stabilize families and prevent the young children from needing to be removed from their families which is traumatic for them. 
  • We hope to work upstream to improve the odds of better outcomes for these children who have encounter the child welfare system.
 
HOW YOU CAN HELP:  Like last year, you will be provided an Amazon link to order suggested supplies. More to come about how to order, etc.


 
WHEN - MARK YOUR CALENDAR: We will collect these items during Lent, assemble the kits after church on Palm Sunday and then on Good Friday at 10am we will go to Foster Village and deliver the kits.  We’ll also prepare Easter eggs for our Easter Day celebration!  There is a playground where kids can play with parental supervision.
