Program Purpose
The Foster Care Support program at DC127 supports kinship, foster, and adoptive families to provide stability for children in their care. DC127 also seeks to be a safe space to learn more about foster care and explore becoming a foster parent.
Support for Kinship and Foster Families
The Foster Care Support program offers family fun days, community with other kinship and foster families in the city, prayer check-ins and prayer.
Tabitha's Closet

Workshops
Workshops cover a variety of topics. Some are in person and some are virtual. Most are approved for credit through CFSA for those maintaining a resource parent license.
A Safe Space to Learn More
We offer a place to ask questions and address fears and myths about foster car, resources as you discern your next steps, and connection to the Child & Family Services Agency (CFSA) to become licensed.
Connect with Community
