Join us for a fun-filled day of kickball at our special one-day tournament benefiting Isaiah 117 House, an organization dedicated to supporting children awaiting foster care placement. Bring your energy and your kicks to help make a difference!
When children are removed from their homes out of concern for their safety, they are usually brought to a child welfare services office to await placement. This wait can be a few hours to several days. These children often have nothing with them and are scared, lonely, hungry, and in dirty clothing.
Isaiah 117 provides a comforting home where these children instead can be brought to wait – a place that is safe with friendly and loving volunteers who provide clean clothes, smiles, toys, and snuggly blankets. This space allows children to receive the comfort and care they need while child welfare staff can do the necessary paperwork and identify a good placement.
Removal day can be one of the hardest days a child will ever experience. When children enter an Isaiah 117 House, they are welcomed by a caregiving volunteer and/or Program Coordinator. Our goal is to provide lavish love and meet their needs – baths/showers, meals, new clothes and shoes, hygiene products, hugs, support, and a listening ear!
Isaiah 117 House can provide the placement a bed, car seat, formula, diapers, or dinner. While the call may still come in the middle of the night, “the ask” is to say yes to a sibling set who spent the day at Isaiah 117 House. They took baths, have full bellies and duffle bags of their own new clothes for the next several days. They have everything they need to go to school the next morning. We want them to focus on welcoming the children and helping them settle into their new home instead of having to rush around to stores to buy everything the children need.
