By registering to be a part of Renewed Strength you will let us know when you have need of respite. This can be for a morning or afternoon, an overnight, weekend, up to a week on occasion. The Renewed Strength Volunteer families have all been background checked and fingerprinted with DCS and additionally approved by Bridge Family Ministries. The goal of this program is to create relationships with a respite home prior to using it for respite so that your children don’t feel abandoned and the transition to the respite home and back to your home is simple and smooth. This additionally allows the respite family to fall under prudent parenting and fit within the parameters for DCS. We are excited about this program and eager to serve your families more completely.
