GET INVOLVED
You don’t have to foster to make a difference.
Every foster family in Utah is held up by other people: the neighbor who drops off dinner, the friend who takes the kids for an afternoon, the person who says “I know someone you should call.” Here is how to be one of them.

STEADY
The kind of person others lean on.
Our strongest families almost always came to us because someone who knew them made an introduction. You don’t need to be sure they’d say yes. You just need to think they’d be good at it.
Or text Tina at 801-931-8075
We’ll reach out gently, and mention you only if you’re happy for us to.
Teachable
Willing to learn something new at forty or sixty.
A little room
At the table, in the house, in the week.
Help a family you know
Don’t ask what they need. Pick something and do it.
Foster parents hear “let me know if you need anything” constantly, and almost never take anyone up on it. A specific offer is easier to say yes to. Tap one for a tip.
Text first
With a day, not a question. "I'm bringing lasagna Thursday, what time works?," is easy to say yes to.
