Do you know a child in foster care?

There are unlimited ways you can impact a child you know who is in DCF care. These are a few examples, and we welcome your ideas too.

• Become the foster parent for the child (licensed kin caregiver)
• Create memories with the child (day trip to a zoo, see a movie, include them in family events, etc.)
• Participate in activities with the child (attend school concerts, offer football sideline support, drive child to drum lessons, plan/join playdates, etc.)
• Help the child stay connected to their family, extended family, friends, etc. (bring the child to church, drive them to visit with cousins, bring them to a community event, etc.)
• Become a mentor (help with homework, teach life skills like laundry, cooking, learning to drive, etc.)
• Support the foster home where the child is living (be available for phone calls, join family visits, visit with the child, etc.)
• Be a phone call, email or video call away for a child you know who needs your support
