We are working with several foster care agencies to support foster families in Monroe County. Supporting a foster family in small or big ways can mean more stable placements and happier outcomes. Opportunities for volunteers include:
mentoring foster children: playing with, reading to, helping with homework, teaching a skill …
helping a foster family with household tasks: grocery shopping, laundry, yardwork …
helping with craft and game times for foster children once a month on a Sunday afternoon
helping prepare and deliver meals to foster families
helping prepare and deliver “care packages” to foster families when a new child enters their care, and also from time to time as a thank you from the community
soliciting donations of craft supplies and gift cards to restaurants and other businesses that we can add to our care packages
