Fostering Champions is participating in UWHCM’s Day of Action and has several areas where volunteer support would make a meaningful impact. Volunteers may be asked to assist with one or more of the following tasks:
Organizing and refreshing the personal hygiene closet
Assisting with general preparation of the future three‑story foster home to help move it toward being move‑in ready
Supporting basic home improvement tasks as needed (painting, installing doorknobs or electrical plate covers, sweeping, dusting, vacuuming)
Helping move in furniture or appliances
Providing light exterior maintenance such as weeding, lawn care, or window cleaning
This project supports Fostering Champions’ mission to create a safe, stable, and welcoming environment for young men transitioning out of foster care. The program allows young people who age out of foster care to live in a home for three years, with resources that include a car to get to work and access to GED classes. One home is already established and thriving in Rocky Mount. Volunteer efforts will help prepare essential spaces and ensure the new Martinsville home is ready for future residents.
Materials Provided: Basic cleaning supplies and tools needed for interior and exterior tasks.
Materials Volunteers May Bring: Work gloves Basic hand tools Painting supplies (These items are optional and may be adjusted as the project nears.)
Please Note: Project tasks may be modified prior to the event depending on construction progress at the foster home.
