Your Brevard County church can care for foster and adoptive families in our community in a simple, practical way.
Foster and adoptive parents pour themselves into caring for children who have experienced loss, family separation, and significant life changes. Providing consistent, responsive care while managing the challenges of navigating the foster care system and the complexities of helping children heal from past trauma can be exhausting and isolating.
A few hours to have dinner together, run errands, meet a friend for coffee, or simply breathe can make a meaningful difference.
OPEN YOUR DOORS
Your church chooses a date, determines how many children you can serve, and gathers a team of caring, background-checked volunteers.
GIVE KIDS A GREAT NIGHT
You provide dinner, games, activities, and a safe, welcoming place where children can enjoy themselves. Have fun with it! Build it all on a theme, if you'd like.
GIVE PARENTS TIME TO REST & RECHARGE
Parents get a few hours for a date night, coffee with a friend, errands, a nap, time to catch up on chores, or simply a much-needed break.
These evenings give kids a safe, welcoming place to play, laugh, build friendships, and experience the steady kindness of caring adults outside their own home. It reminds them that they are part of a bigger community that cares about them, and that belonging can be deeply meaningful as they continue to grow and heal.
When churches surround foster and adoptive families with practical support, they help create a community where families are better equipped to continue caring for children who need safety, stability, connection, and belonging.
Equipped & Encouraged will be there every step of the way.
We'll guide you through planning your event, including considerations specific to foster and adoptive families, trauma-informed care, volunteer preparation, activity ideas, registration, communication with families, and other practical details.
We want your church to feel equipped to serve families well and encouraged that you can make a meaningful difference.
