How to Get Involved

Respite Caretaker

Respite care offers short-term support to families by providing children with a safe, nurturing place to stay when their primary caregiver needs a break or face unexpected challenges. It's a wonderful way to make a meaningful impact — especially for those curious about fostering but not yet ready for a long-term commitment. Stays typically range from a weekend to 14 days, and caregivers receive a stipend based on the number of nights a child is in their care.
