A team of volunteers from a faith community comes together as a "quasi-extended family" to assist and support foster parents in their task of caring for foster children. They take their lead from the foster parents and are carefully trained to support – and not judge – a foster parent. They help with a number of tasks: transportation, tutoring, laundry, meals, outings, parties – even giving parents a night out every now and then. They befriend the foster parents, giving them a safe outlet to be themselves and a chance to feel less isolated.
With trust on both sides, the relationship grows and the children in foster care see and feel differences of calm, stability and nurturing within the household. They see adults modeling caring behavior with each other, something they may not have seen in their families of origin.
