They often face multiple placements, separation from siblings, and the uncertainty that accompanies trauma and transition. While dedicated foster families exist in our region, the need continues to outpace available support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We believe no child should navigate foster care alone, and no foster family should feel unsupported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Through programs like <a href=\"https:\/\/everychildoregon.org\/linnbentonlincoln\/get-involved\/myneighbor\/\">My NeighbOR<\/a>, we meet tangible needs and create moments of care, dignity, and support for children in foster care. Last year alone, we fulfilled over 245 requests for essential items\u2014everything from beds and clothing to bikes and other critical resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We also serve as a connector for individuals and families who feel called to take the next step. Whether that\u2019s becoming a resource (foster) parent or opening their home for respite care. For those looking to get involved in other ways, we offer meaningful volunteer opportunities, including group projects like assembling <a href=\"https:\/\/everychildoregon.org\/linnbentonlincoln\/get-involved\/volunteer\/flash-boxes\/\">Family Fun Boxes<\/a>, joining a Hope Team through our <a href=\"https:\/\/everychildoregon.org\/linnbentonlincoln\/get-involved\/volunteer\/my-community\/\">My Community<\/a> program to support a family each month, helping at our <a href=\"https:\/\/everychildoregon.org\/linnbentonlincoln\/get-involved\/volunteer\/foster-parents-night-out\/\">Foster Parents&#8217; Night Out<\/a> events, or serving at special events throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">But our work goes beyond meeting physical needs. We are building a connected, compassionate community that shows up. Whether it\u2019s volunteers, donors, businesses, or foster parents, everyone has a role to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In partnership with the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS), we mobilize people to take action because when a child enters foster care, it should feel like a community is stepping in, not a system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Together, we are creating a place where children are seen, families are supported, and hope is tangible.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id16_d5bda3-c2 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id16_d5bda3-c2 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id16_d5bda3-c2 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:1440px;padding-top:25px;padding-right:100px;padding-bottom:25px;padding-left:100px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id16_d5bda3-c2 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id16_d5bda3-c2 > .kt-row-column-wrap{padding-right:50px;padding-left:50px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id16_d5bda3-c2 > .kt-row-column-wrap{padding-right:40px;padding-left:40px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id16_d5bda3-c2 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.kadence-column16_a23291-3a > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column16_a23291-3a > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column16_a23291-3a > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column16_a23291-3a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column16_a23291-3a > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column16_a23291-3a > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column16_a23291-3a{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column16_a23291-3a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column16_a23291-3a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column16_a23291-3a inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-dark-green-color has-text-color\">Follow Us<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"social-icons aligncenter\" >\n\t\t\t<li class=\"social_icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/everychildoregon.linnbenton\" title=\"Facebook\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\"><i class=\"fa fa-facebook\"><\/i><\/a>\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li class=\"social_icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/everychildoregon_linnbenton\" title=\"Instagram\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\"><i class=\"fa fa-instagram\"><\/i><\/a>\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t<\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Linn Benton Lincoln Every Child exists to rally the community for children and families impacted by foster care across Linn, Benton, and Lincoln counties.
