FAMILY ADVOCACY MINISTRY
EMBRACE HOPE & DISCOVER YOUR ROLE IN HELPING FAMILIES
We provide support to foster, adoptive, and respite families, as well as those in the process of fostering or transitioning out of foster care. Additionally, we extend assistance to biological families to prevent children from entering foster care, offering services such as meal provision and childcare support. Within our Care Communities, volunteers fulfill specific roles assigned to them, all underlined with prayer and encouragement, as we seek additional volunteers to join us in this important aspect of our ministry.
“Whoever receives one of these little children in my name receives me; and whoever receives me does not receive me but the One who sent me.”
Mark 9:37

What is FAM?
Our Family Advocacy Ministry (FAM) consists of committed and equipped volunteers who support and serve foster, adoptive, kinship, safe, or vulnerable biological families and all the children in their care.
How Can you help?
Not everyone can foster or adopt, but everyone can do something! As a member of the Vineyard FAM, you can be involved at many different levels. Perhaps it’s serving on a care community, prayer team, or helping with service-based events. Thinking about fostering or adopting? This group is for you too!
