Foster Care
Ashley Wants To connect With You!
At Olive, it’s not enough to just fill out a form and hope someone gets back to you. The church is built with people, and that’s why we value you as an integral part of this ever-growing kingdom. Finding gospel-centered community is vital, and we are here to connect with you!
what’s it like to be a foster parent?
Chuck and Lisa Wallace give us their perspective on being foster parents and opening up their home to be a safe haven for children.
Interested in Fostering?
Fostering Family is here to provide education, training, and encouragement for families as the church lives out the biblical mandate to care for neglected children.
To learn more about how to become a foster family, visit our partners at One More Child for more information!
want to support foster families?
here are six ways you can help:
FOLLOW
Follow the “FosteringFamily Support Team (Olive Baptist)” on Facebook. We post tangible needs here so we can meet those needs for our foster families and their children.
PRAY
If you would like to be partnered with a foster family to lift them up in prayer. Contact Ashley Hooten for more information.
BABYSIT
Free babysitters during court dates, date nights, or just to run errands can be a huge blessing to our foster families. If you’d like to volunteer your services please contact us.
Foster Families needing babysitting care and services can ask to join and/or refer to the the private Support Team Facebook Group for more information.
GIVE
Gift cards (Walmart, Target, Amazon) are wonderful gifts! Purchase on Amazon here or at any of these stores (restaurant, pizza, or movie gift cards are great, also). Any household items such as laundry detergent, paper towels, paper plates, etc. are always useful. Bring any gift cards or items to the preschool desk.
JOIN
Interested in becoming a licensed foster parent or licensed respite provider? We partner with One More Child to support fostering. For more information, you can reach out to Tessa Bailey.
COOK
Cook a casserole and bring it to the preschool department freezer for a foster family. Contact Pam Hinote to get details.
