All volunteers must attend a mandatory training to learn expectations, trauma-informed care, boundaries, resources, and the child welfare process. Training is available online or in-person.
3. Serve your family.
A FamiliesCare group consists of 3+ trained adults from your church committing to help your matched family for a 12 month period. The average time commitment for the entire group is approximately 5 hours/month.

WHAT DOES A FAMILIESCare GROUP DO?
RELATIONSHIPS The main goal for the group is to be a friend and support for a struggling family. Monthly social outings are encouraged. MEALS Groups may provide a weekly meal and monthly grocery delivery. RESOURCES Groups may help a famly find and connect to helpful community resources (childcare assistance, housing, employment, etc) CHILDCARE Groups should not be the primary childcare provider, but may provide occasional childcare to support family goals. |
