We are not all called to foster or adopt but we are all called to care.
OPPORTUNITIES:
October is National Adoption Month
Visit the WrapAround table in the Gallery any Sunday in October to discover ways to support children in foster care and their families. We're collecting gently used books for teenagers and distributing prayer cards for children awaiting adoption.

about WEPC's WrapAround Ministry:
The body of Christ is called to be pro-life for every life, at every stage, through the celebration and protection of the dignity and flourishing of every human life.
WrapAround is a ministry team at WEPC ready to serve:
- Nearby families in crisis (in an effort to keep families together and children out of foster care)
- Foster families (to support them as they care for children in foster care while birth families work to get back on track).
There is a role for everybody including making a meal, babysitting, giving rides, mentoring, providing respite care for foster families, and volunteering during special events for foster children.
If you’d like to join the team OR if you know someone who needs our help, please contact Ali Fogarty.
WrapAround also partners with:
Virginia’s Kids Belong
Serving foster families, children in foster care, and birth families through the Department of Social Services in Henrico County.
