2025 Foster Care Awareness Month Events and Activities

May is Foster Care Awareness Month, and we’re turning up the volume on advocacy, compassion, and community! With aproximately 400 children experiencing foster care across Southwest Washington, this month is a powerful opportunity to reflect on the needs of youth in foster care—and to step up together.

This year, we're hosting several special events designed just for youth in foster care and their caregivers—bringing community connection to those who need it most.

So, What Can You Do?

These events are designed specifically for foster youth and their caregivers—but our broader community plays a vital role in making them happen and in sustaining our mission all year long.

Here’s how you can support:

💛 Donate – Help us provide one-to-one support to more caregivers and foster youth.

🙌 Volunteer – Join our team of Sidekicks or help behind the scenes at events.

📣 Advocate – Share Fosterful’s story, raise awareness, and speak up for kids in care.

And stay tuned—we’ve got some big announcements coming later this month about how Fosterful is expanding to meet the growing needs of youth in Southwest Washington.
