Friends of ABC
Our annual giving program is a vital source of support for ABCFOC, providing mission-critical funding that supports our programs and shapes the experience of our children and families.
Areas of highest priority:
Post-Permanency Services
Offered free of charge to any family living in Delaware that has adopted or obtained guardianship or permanent guardianship of a child. Includes our nationally recognized Rec-n-Respite program, monthly parent trainings and webinars, parent and teen support groups, crisis intervention, adoption-competent therapy, sibling support, and more.
Financial Aid to Families
We help bridge the gap for families who need assistance. From replacing a refrigerator to covering mental health care, we give critical support to our families when they need it most.
Mission-Critical Operational Support
Our annual fund serves as an important resource for covering administrative costs for the day-to-day function of our organization, from keeping the lights on to attracting and retaining experienced, passionate Child and Family Specialists who can provide the high-quality support our children and families deserve.
Staff Training and Development
Families trust us with their most vulnerable moments. Ongoing training equips staff with the tools to address emerging issues, from trauma-informed care to cultural competency. Training also provides our team with strategies to better manage the emotional demands of their work, preventing burnout and enhancing their own resilience.
Facility Improvements
We hold trainings, support groups, Rec-n-Respite programs, and community events in both of our locations. It is important to us to maintain a safe, warm, and welcoming environment for our families.
