Support May Include:
-
Backpacks or duffel bags
-
New clothing and pajamas

Underwear and socks

-

Age-appropriate comfort items
Support is available for infants, children, and teens based on need and available resources.
No child should feel like they are starting over with nothing.
FOSTER & KINSHIP CAREGIVER SUPPORT
Connecting caregivers with practical resources and community support.
Foster parents, kinship caregivers, relatives, and resource families may receive a child with very little notice.

Reunification Welcome Home Program
Helping families prepare for a new beginning. Preparing for a child's return home can bring both excitement and practical challenges. When reunification has been approved or a family is appropriately referred while preparing for a child's return, Elohim Vision may help provide essential items needed to create a prepared and welcoming home.

Our goal is to reduce practical barriers and help families feel more prepared as they begin their next chapter together. A new beginning deserves support.
Sibling Connections Program
Preserving the bonds that matter. Brothers and sisters may be placed in different homes while in foster care. Elohim Vision believes these important relationships deserve support. Through appropriate partnerships with caregivers, foster-care organizations, and other authorized partners, our Sibling Connections Program creates opportunities for siblings to spend meaningful time together.
Activities May Include:
• Sibling activity days
• Recreational outings
• Arts and crafts
• Shared meals
• Birthday celebrations
• Holiday activities
• Special events
• Keepsake experiences
Because entering foster care should not mean losing the connection to your brother or sister.
