One of our favorite ways to support foster families is through ‘It’s Good to Gather’ events. These are special dinners and outings where foster parents can gather to connect and lift one another up.
Check out one of our ‘It’s Good to Gather’ events we held at First Tee Greater Charlotte. This one was for the whole family!
“Having a strong community around us when we accepted a new placement is the most tangible love I’ve ever felt. They anticipated our needs when I couldn’t even figure out what I needed. We never could have been healthy foster parents without it.”
