You’re Invited! Join Us for Dinner & Conversation About Foster Care

Did you know that most people who step into foster care do so because they’ve seen someone else do it — someone who inspired them to take that first step?

We’d love to invite you to a free dinner where we’ll talk openly about foster care — what it looks like, how it works, and how you can make a difference.

If you’re a foster parent, bring a few friends who’ve shown interest or have questions.

If you’re curious about foster care, come enjoy dinner and ask anything you’d like — no pressure, just real stories and real people.

We’ll have experienced foster parents, ministry leaders, and even a social worker there to share, encourage, and answer your questions.

Dinner provided by South Dakota Kids Belong at Fork Real CafeCome connect, learn, and see how you might play a part in changing a child’s story.

Tag a friend and RSVP today @ info@sdkidsbelong.org — we can’t wait to see you there!
