Sometimes the best thing for us is to simply talk with people who get it and understand what you are going through. That's why our gatherings and events are a great opportunity to talk and build relationships with other foster, kinship, and adoptive parents who are in a similar journey to you. We currently offer the following:

• Monthly Coffee and Connect Group for Moms

• F/A Brotherhood Monthly Dad Meetup (sponsored by FTMN)

• Parent Night Out Events (check schedule)

• Family Fun Events (check schedule)

• Training Events (check schedule)

Our mentorship program gives you the opportunity to learn from someone who is a little further ahead in the journey than you, while also building a personal connection with someone who shares your heart for foster care. Gain practical advice, encouragement and support from a mentor who lives right in your area.

 

We currently offer three types of mentorship: foster mom program, foster dad program and foster parents program (couples).

 

Sign up to become a mentor or a mentee.

Abundant Goods by Foster Together MN is a shopping and resource center that is intentionally designed for foster, kinship, and adoptive families to collect items for youth who are in their care. Items include clothing, shoes, hygiene products, baby products, and other essential items. The space will be filled with positive affirmations, promoting dignity and value of all who enter. Families are able to come during our open shopping hours or by appointment with a Foster Together MN team member.

If you are not registered with us, please complete our registration form before making an appointment or coming to Abundant Goods. Appointments are not required but are strongly encouraged.

It takes a village to raise a child, but it takes the community to do foster care. We understand that it is difficult to ask for help, but we also know that many tangible needs arise when you are caring for children in the foster care system. Many community members want to serve in this way, so consider giving them the opportunity to do so!

 

As you are getting licensed, accept a placement or are navigating your journey, please use our Abundant Goods Request form to let our team know and ask for help. At a minimum, we'd love to offer meal support within the first few days of a placement. 

We are always looking to expand our team, whether that is one of our a committee or our Board of Directors. We value different perspectives and experiences influencing the direction of our organization so we can always be improving and learning.
