Caring for kids from hard places does not have to be a journey you take alone. There are others just like you who understand what the journey is like and are here to be a community of support for you. 

At Foster Village, we help bring this community together and provide fellowship, camaraderie, relief and resources for foster, kinship, and adoptive parents who need to know they are not alone. 

We regularly host community events, including:

  • Mom Gatherings
  • Dad Gatherings
  • Caregiver Gatherings
  • Parents’ Night Out Events
  • Play Dates
  • Family Gatherings
  • Equip Workshops (gain tools and knowledge from experts)

These events are open to all! Browse the events feed below to find an upcoming event near you. We would love for you to join us!


Monthly Gatherings


Our monthly Moms Gathering is a time for foster, kinship, and adoptive moms to connect and decompress. Get a babysitter or bring the kids for great food, drinks, and good conversation with other like-minded mommas.
