💼 Help Out Behind the Scenes as an Administrative Volunteer!
Looking for a way to give back using your office skills? Join us as an administrative volunteer! You'll help with everyday tasks like filing, organizing paperwork, preparing mailings, and entering data—small but important jobs that help keep our programs running smoothly.
Whether you have a few hours a week or just want to help with occasional projects, your time and effort will make a big difference for our staff and the families we serve.

🎨 Forever Families 4th Annual Craft & Vendor Show 🛍️
Join us for a fun day of community, creativity, and giving back!
Forever Families is proud to host our 4th Annual Craft & Vendor Show in honor of National Adoption Month — an important time to raise awareness about the need for loving, permanent homes for children in foster care.
This family-friendly event doubles as a festive Holiday Shop, offering a variety of handcrafted items, one-of-a-kind gifts, specialty goods, and seasonal treats from local artisans and small businesses. Whether you're getting a jump on holiday shopping or just enjoying a day out, there's something for everyone!
❤️ Why It Matters:
All proceeds from this event directly benefit Forever Families' programs for foster and adoptive children. By attending, shopping, or participating as a vendor, you are helping children in need find the support, care, and permanent homes they deserve.
Help us spread awareness, uplift local talent, and make a difference in the lives of children and families in our community.
