Thompson’s Foster Care team identifies, trains, and continually supports dedicated, engaged families who can provide long-term and respite care for children re-entering community life.
A child who is removed from the home often has nothing but a trash bag full of scattered belongings when they arrive in foster care. Sometimes the child has to sleep in the DSS office or, a social worker’s car if a foster home isn’t yet available. Children deserve a warm bed at night, even if it’s only for one night (yes, we have respite foster care options too!)
How you can help NOW:
- Donate hygiene products
- Donate gift cards (Target, Walmart, grocery stores, etc.)
Please email Chantel Ellison, Donor Engagement Manager at cellison@thompsoncff.org if you or your group are interested in engaging with this program.
