    Help families know they are not alone.
    We see them.
    And we're in it with them.

    This guide is more than just a list of ideas. It’s a guide for those who want to help but aren’t sure where to begin. Whether you’re a neighbor, a church member, or simply someone who cares, this guide will help you to turn your compassion into action.

    We created this because we know that even small gestures can make a big impact. You don't have to become a foster parent to care. You don’t have to do everything—but we can all do something.

    This is for...

    • ...people who want to help but aren't sure how.
    • ...churches, businesses, and organizations looking to support families.
    • ...anyone who believes that small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

    The Riverside Project was founded in 2018 with a vision to strengthen foster families and their communities through training and collaboration. Our first initiative, the Babysitting Collaborative launched in partnership with 4 child-placing agencies. Since then, 27 additional agencies have joined the collaborative, and 800+ babysitters have been equipped to provide quality, trauma-informed support for families parenting children in the foster system.

    In August 2020, we launched a city-wide strategic initiative to mobilize Houstonians to address the various social issues facing their neighborhoods. Today, we are a collaborative network of agencies, congregations, nonprofits, school districts, and passionate individuals working together to transform the foster care system in Houston.
