FAQs

Thank you for asking! The families served through Foster Village Memphis are completely funded by your donations. We do not receive any state funding, and the number of families served is utterly dependent on what donations allow. For example, a large percentage of requests, like car seats, beds and mattresses, must be purchased new for safety reasons. When you give, however big or small, these urgent needs can be met.

We love our volunteers! They are what keep us running and help us connect foster families with the resources they need most. Please check out our current list of volunteer opportunities and fill out our Volunteer Interest Form here, and our Volunteer Coordinator, Meg Thompson, will be in contact with you! 

Our Welcome Pack Delivery volunteers and Meal Train volunteers operate on-call all day (and into the night) long! Depending on when Welcome Pack requests are placed, we aim to have them in the family's hands within 24 hours. 

We are glad you asked! We have an affiliate program that allows those passionate about supporting foster families to replicate our model and materials in their city. To check out our current locations and application process here. 

A willingness to learn more is the best place to start! We recommend researching your local child placement agencies and attending orientations to get a feel for which agency is the best fit. Recommendations from current foster parents can also be very helpful. Many of our volunteers start with us as a way to get a better feel for what it’s like to be a foster family and later go on to get licensed, so volunteering is a great first step as well. 

Yes, we’d love to! Please complete our contact form and tell us a little about your event.
