"Riley's Resource Room"
Riley's Resource Room will provide AHF families and other Oklahoma foster parents with cribs, car seats, high chairs, clothing, diapers, formula and other much needed baby essentials in order to relieve some of the financial burden when caring for foster children. We are excited to serve these very special "parents" in this way. Below is a list of some items that are needed to keep this room well stocked and up to date. We also try and provide each "new arrival" with a welcome basket filled with essentials and a baby blanket to welcome them to their new foster home. Your donations will go a long way toward sending the Lord's love to an Oklahoma child and their new family.

AHF Family Resource Network
The Anna's House Family Resource Network exists to offer support and encouragement to Oklahoma Foster Families with babies and very young children in the home. Through support groups, weekly e.mail devotions, prayer partners and other mentoring programs we hope to ease the burden that can sometimes come from caring for the very tiny, often very sick little ones in our state's custody. By sharing our hearts, our stories, our personal insights and our prayer needs with one another we can strengthen this very special network of families and strive to eliminate the turnover that so often occurs within the foster care community when families begin to feel "burned out" and frustrated with "the system". We will help equip them through training and other resources to help them "navigate" the DHS child welfare/juvenile court system and by "bearing one another's burdens" we can strengthen and encourage each other!
If you are interested in being a part of a support group, would like to be on our e.mail devotional list or if we can be of encouragement to you, please contact elizabeth@annashousefoundation.org.
We would love to hear from you!!
