About Us
Grandparent & Kin Care Support Program
Caring for family. Finding support together.
Are you raising or caring for a loved one’s children because of parental substance use or an overdose death? You don’t have to navigate it alone.
Marshfield FACTS invites grandparents, aunts, uncles, family friends, and other kinship caregivers to a welcoming monthly gathering at Friendship Hall. Come share a meal, connect with others, and find practical resources and support for you and the children in your care.
A Place for You and the Children in Your Care
Taking on the care of a loved one’s children can bring unexpected responsibilities, questions, and emotions. Our Grandparent & Kin Care Support Program offers a place to connect with people who understand, learn about helpful resources, and build a community of support.
Whether you’re new to caregiving or have been caring for children for years, we welcome you.
What to Expect
Each gathering includes:
- A community meal for adults and children.
- Activities for children while caregivers connect and participate.
- Education and support for caregivers navigating the challenges of kinship care.
- Helpful resources for children, caregivers, and families.
- Lunchbox snacks and juices to take home.
Star Market gift cards are also available.
