Respite

Respite Events

Be the Village collaborates with the Department of Child Services (DCS) throughout the year to host respite events. These events provide a safe and fun environment for foster children while allowing parents a much needed break. Occasionally DCS will join in these events to also provide training hours for foster parents.

Through our collaboration of churches we hope to offer these events quarterly. Each event is hosted by one church, but several churches are represented through serving.
