The reality is that foster parents sometimes need a break – just like all other parents. Whether it is for an overnight emergency trip or a weekend get-away, it is important that foster parents have others around them to help care for their foster children during times like these. This is what we call relief care - and it is a great way to serve children in foster care and provide practical support to foster parents.

The Tapestry Relief Care Network is just getting started, but if you are in need of relief care let us know by contacting Amy Monroe at tapestry@irvingbible.org.  If you are interested in becoming a part of the Tapestry Relief Care Network to serve children in foster care and provide practical support for foster parents, you can find out more here.
