Prayer

The most important act of support is for you to pray for the parents inviting foster children into their homes and families and for you to pray for the foster children themselves.

Care Communities

A Care Community is a group of friends, neighbors and family who pray, provide occasional meals, send cards, watch the children when needed, and a lot more.

Support Group

You are not alone! Meet once a month with other foster parents so you can pray, share, and help each other. Be with others who face the same challenges and help each other in a support group.

Guardian ad Litem

A Guardian ad Litem is a volunteer advocate for the foster child in all areas of life. The GAL program helps foster families and, in turn, The Idlewild Foundation supports the guardians in their support for hospitalized foster children.

More Support

Hope for the Orphan and The Idlewild Foundation together provide a wide array of support; ZooTampa passes, Florida Aquarium passes, a Valentine’s celebration, swim lessons, haircuts, back-to-school support, Christmas gift cards, birthday cards, and a lot more.

Contribute to Fund 1:27

Nothing in our world is without cost. The Idlewild Foundation created Fund 1:27 to help support the foster care ministry at Idlewild Baptist Church and in the Tampa Bay Region. No money goes to Foundation salaries or expenses – it goes 100% into the ministry.
