Foster kids in our community need caring adults who are willing to step in—offering a safe, supportive place to land while their parents work toward stability. 💛

Could that be you?

There are different ways to make a meaningful difference:

✨ Become a resource (foster) parent and open your home to a child who needs temporary care.

✨ Become a Friend of the Family and provide short-term respite and support for foster parents.

You don’t have to have all the answers. If you’ve raised children, supported families, or simply have a heart for helping kids, we’d love to get to know you.

📅 Sign up for the next online orientation:
September 10 at 7 PM

💙 Cheers to our incredible resource families! 💙

A huge thank you to all of our amazing resource families who joined us for our recent dinner out at East Brother Beer Co. ! We loved spending time together over great food, engaging company, fun games, and plenty of laughs. 🎉

Most of all, it was a wonderful opportunity to connect with both new and old friends and celebrate the incredible community that makes foster care stronger.

We’re so grateful for the care, compassion, and commitment you bring to the kids in our community. 💙

Every child has dreams. Sometimes, all they need is the opportunity to explore them. 💙

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, our Opportunity Project grants help bring those dreams to life.

For one young person, that dream was learning pottery on a real pottery wheel. What started as curiosity became a chance to create, build confidence, and discover a new passion.

Whether it's pottery, music lessons, sports, summer camp, or another enriching experience, these opportunities help children and youth in foster care discover their strengths, express themselves, and simply enjoy being kids.

To everyone who supports the Opportunity Project—thank you. Your generosity opens doors, nurtures confidence, and reminds young people that their dreams matter.✨

Summer evenings are even better when they're spent with our community. 💙🎶

We had a wonderful time at Live on the Avenue in downtown San Anselmo, meeting local families, answering questions about foster care, and sharing ways our community can make a difference.

Our newest kid-friendly game was a huge hit (and the prizes didn't hurt either! 😉). Most importantly, every conversation helped shine a light on the need for more support for local children and families impacted by foster care.

✨ There's still one more chance to catch us this summer on September 5th!

Stop by and learn how you can help foster hope right here in our community.💛

Every child deserves the chance to stay connected to the people and places that help them feel safe.

Right now, 35% of children entering foster care in Marin County are placed outside the county because we simply don't have enough foster families. That means leaving behind their schools, friends, teachers, coaches, and the community they know—all during one of the hardest moments of their lives.

It's heartbreaking that we have to advertise for foster families. But the need is real, and every new foster home can mean one more child stays close to the people and places that matter most.

If you've ever wondered whether fostering might be right for you, we'd love to have a conversation. No pressure. No commitment. Just honest answers to your questions and a chance to learn more.

💙 Send us a DM or register for an online orientation with Children & Family Services at https://foster.marinhhs.org/content/resource-family-orientation-dates. We'd love to share our experiences and help you explore whether fostering could be part of your story.

If you can dream it, you can achieve it.  💙

This summer, one of our incredible foster youth took a literal leap of faith by going skydiving—an unforgettable experience made possible through our Summer Fun grant.

Now she’s preparing for an even bigger leap: heading off to college. ✨

As she gets ready to move into her apartment and begin this exciting new chapter, we’re helping make the transition a little easier by providing back-to-school essentials donated by our generous community, so that she can start the semester feeling supported and ready to succeed.

From soaring through the sky to pursuing her dreams, we’re so proud of this college-bound student, and we can’t wait to see where life takes her next.

Here’s to courage, new beginnings, and every leap that leads to brighter futures. 🎓🪂💙

There's nothing quite like starting the school year with a brand-new pair of shoes—and thanks to our amazing friends at , more of our community's foster youth will get to do just that. 👟💙

A heartfelt thank you to Hillside Church for their incredible generosity and support of our Back-to-School Shoe Drive.

They created a special "store" where the congregation could select and purchase a brand-new pair of sneakers for a child in foster care. Every pair represents more than just new shoes—it’s a gift of confidence, dignity, and encouragement as students head into a new school year.

Because of this incredible community, our foster youth will start the school year off on the right foot, knowing they are cared for and supported by people who believe in them.

Thank you, , for helping our kids step into a new school year with confidence and hope. ❤️
