Fostering Life

Caring for kids in need in Vegas
At Canyon Ridge, we want to be a place where families go to get better. We also know that fostering is a tremendous way to do that. Fostering Life partners with organizations across Las Vegas to support, encourage, and connect fostering and potential foster families. There are plenty of ways to get involved, either as a volunteer or a foster family.

Support Foster Families with Diapers

We have the opportunity to use our good resources to serve families in Foster Care as they care for their foster children.
We’re partnering with Foster Connect, one of our Fostering Life Partners, to supply as many families as possible. All sizes of diapers and pull-ups are accepted (larger sizes are especially needed).
Our generosity as a church can show these families that they are cared for and loved by God.
You can drop off diapers at Hannah’s Closet North (4079 North Rancho Drive, Suite 110, Las Vegas, NV 89130) only during their open hours. For a list of their hours/location go to https://www.facebook.com/hannahsclosetlv/
