Fostering Further also provides support to foster families by partnering with local churches to host “Parent’s Night Out” throughout the year. They support five local foster agencies by showing appreciation for their difficult jobs by offering Appreciation Breakfasts for case workers and fulfilling needs for case workers such as car seats and supplies. They have also partnered with a local church that provides space for an Emergency Pantry that is filled with donated children’s clothes, diapers and wipes, baby formula and toys.

In 2018, Fostering Further began partnering with Licking County Job and Family Services to mentor young people who were aging out of foster care. The mentoring relationships exposed Fostering Further to the many overwhelming challenges that emancipating foster youth face and inspired the board of Fostering Further to launch the Starting Strong programs in 2019. These programs are designed specifically to support youth as they navigate the challenges of transitioning from foster care into their adult lives.
