Foster parents often tell us they find comfort in knowing that someone is praying for them. We realize the physical and emotional toll that fostering can take on families and we believe in the power of prayer. Email your prayer request to purposeone27@gmail.com and you can be sure that we will be praying for you.
If you are a foster parent in Walton County then you need to know about our Foster Parent Support Group. Meetings are held monthly on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 6 pm. These meetings alternate between Freeport and Santa Rosa Beach. Meet and get to know other local foster families while receiving the necessary education hours to maintain your licensure. We always have guest speakers who are relevant to foster care needs. Please email us, to be added to the Support Group contact list. Please see our 2024 calendar under the ‘Events’ tab for upcoming support group meetings.
Our ministry provides a homemade meal to foster families on the first Monday of each month. Foster families who are interested in participating please email purposeone27@gmail.com and we would love to serve you.
Supplies
If you have taken in a foster child/children, you know that the state assistance does not cover all of the costs. Please email us. We will work with you to determine what supplies needs you have that we could assist with. Here are some items we see the most need for: diapers, wipes, clothing, linens for crib or toddler beds, shoes, school supplies, and coats. Sometimes we may have new or gently used items that have been donated, however, often we realize it may be easier to offer a gift card so that you can get the items of your preference.
Become a Foster Parent
PurposeOne:27 can help in two ways: first, we can connect you with actual foster parents who would love to answer your questions, second, we can connect you with Families First Network who trains and licenses new foster homes so that you can get started, and finally, once you are on your way to fostering PurposeOne:27 would love to help support you in your journey.
