Office Moms & Dads

Founded in 2013 in Vancouver, Office Moms & Dads (OMD) is a community of 400+ qualified volunteers partnering with nearly 30 child welfare offices across Washington and Idaho to provide a nurturing environment for children entering foster care. OMD mobilizes community volunteers to be onsite at child welfare offices to comfort and care for children... who have just been removed from their home due to abuse or neglect and are waiting to be placed in a suitable foster care situation. Volunteers keep children occupied and safe while social workers work behind the scenes to arrange for their long term care, often having conversations not suited for children's ears. Office Moms & Dads volunteers fill little bellies that may not have eaten in some time, bring tissues where there are tears, and put stuffies in the arms of kids who have had everything taken from them. Office Moms & Dads is a movement. It is a call to action and a solution for filling the gaps of an overburdened and broken system, allowing loving adults to step in and make a difference for kids. To be a part of this great organization, we encourage you to get involved or make a donation.Read More
