May is Foster Care Awareness Month!

This month, we recognize the thousands of children and youth in foster care who need safety, stability, healing, and hope. We also want to thank the incredible Resource Parents, relatives, social workers, mentors, and community members who step up to support children and families every day.

At Main Street Youth & Family Services, we are committed to providing hope and healing to children, youth, and families through foster care, mental health services, supportive housing, and family support programs.

Right now, there is a continued need for compassionate individuals and families willing to open their hearts and homes to youth in foster care. Whether you become a Resource Parent, mentor, volunteer, donor, or advocate, you can make a meaningful impact in a child’s life.

Together, we can help children feel seen, supported, and loved.

Help us create a warm, welcoming, and loving space for children in foster care to reconnect and visit with their biological families.

At Main Street Youth & Family Services, we believe every child deserves a safe and comforting environment during family visits. These moments can play an important role in healing, connection, and reunification.

We’re inviting our community to help us transform our Visitation Rooms into spaces that feel calm, child-friendly, and full of care. To make it easy to support this project, we created an Amazon Wishlist filled with ideas and needed items to help create a comfortable space for children and families.

From toys and books to cozy seating, games, sensory items, and décor, every donation helps make a difference.

Check out our Amazon Wishlist and help us create a space filled with comfort, hope, and connection.

Today, we celebrate the incredible women who open their hearts and homes to children in need.

To our Resource Moms, Grandmothers, Aunts, and every woman stepping into a nurturing role - thank you for the love, patience, comfort, and stability you provide every single day. Your kindness changes lives in ways words can never fully express.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Main Street Youth & Family Services. Thank you for being a safe place, a guiding light, and a source of unconditional love for children and youth in foster care.
