The Calvary Home community is special, but did you know why community is so important?

Bre reflects on her transition into ministry and her time at Calvary so far

We’re overjoyed to say that two of our boys went home to be with the stable, healthy, loving Dad they’ve been missing for the last 3 years.

When our kids face difficult times, we make sure they are setup to succeed no matter where they are. In some cases, that means fighting for them to come back to us.

When volunteers reached out about helping with the Luminary Gala, our staff didn’t know how much of a blessing they would be.

Summer at Calvary Home is always packed with lots of fun activities and opportunities. Here are the highlights from Summer 2021!

Although both boys have experienced fresh pineapple at Calvary Home before, neither one had ever seen one before it was cut.

Foster parents are not heroes. They are everyday people being faithful to do little things to care for vulnerable children day in, and day out.

As we have mentioned before on the blog, helping foster youth obtain valuable life skills is a major factor in preparing them to successfully navigate the world beyond foster care. At Calvary Home, these skills are taught formally and informally.

As I settled into the stands before the game, more and more people I knew came up to sit with me. They were all there to support Kendrick. His foster dad, his mentor, his youth pastor, families from church, his mom, his sister, and other friends from the community he has built at Calvary Home gave up their Friday night plans to support him from the stands.

But Jessica realized she wanted to put her best foot forward in the new school year.

Havana chose to trust her life jacket and the adults she was with. She got out off the dock.

Before she knew it, each cottage on campus was providing a different station and "Fabulous Friday Fun Day" was born.

One Saturday evening, the Webbs set up an outdoor movie in the back yard.

10 things we are thankful for at Calvary!

Well this past week, foster parent Jim was walking through the cottage and noticed that Mr. Crabs had escaped the aquarium!

Every weekend at Calvary Home for Children, our foster parents and children load up and attend church as a family unit. This past weekend was no different except that this weekend, a major connection occurred with one of our foster dads and a child in his home.

Middle schooler Nickie, a recent addition to the Calvary Home family, was struggling to get out the door on time.

Together, the families at Calvary Home were able to enjoy the Homecoming game from the stands. These Wren High School Students have set an incredible example for youth in our community, and we are so thankful for their dedication and hard-work. Keep it up!

May is Foster Care Awareness Month, and this month we are highlighting ways the community can get involved so that no child falls through the cracks.
