Exchange Parent Aide
A family plan focusing on the program's four goal areas:

Parent Aides are trained, professionally supervised individuals (paid and volunteer) who provide supportive and educational, in-home services to families with children ages 0-17.
The Foster Closet
In partnership with New Hope Clinic, we established a store front to streamline the display and distribution of clothing and other necessities for children ages 0-5 years. Foster families and reunited biological parents can access these items year-round at no cost. We are always looking for volunteers.
The Foster Closet is located at New Hope Clinic 320 South Idaho St. in Butte.
Foster Backpack Program
We supply the local Child and Family Services office with backpacks full of items for children that are removed from their homes. The backpacks include personal hygiene produces, comfort items, activities, snacks, and other age appropriate necessities.
CFS Referral Binder
We supply the local Child and Family Services case workers with a referral binder. The referral binder includes hard copy information on the supports, programs, and resources that exist in the community for families and children. These are used by case workers when they visit families that may be at risk, providing on-the-spot referrals to prevent further interventions.
General CFS Support
Our team meets monthly with the Child and Family Services staff to offer support, including coordination of a toy drive for supervised visitation and creating partnerships to share resources for the clothing closet at the CFS Office.
