    Description

    Family Support Programs Meal Provider

    In addition to forensic interviews and therapy services, CARE House of Oakland County offers ongoing support through programs such as our Family Support Group (FSG) and Nurturing Parent Program (NPP). These weekly evening programs provide children and caregivers with a safe space to build connections, develop healthy coping skills, and strengthen family relationships.

    Before each session begins, families share a meal together — creating an opportunity to decompress after the day, connect with one another, and enter the evening’s programming feeling welcomed and cared for.

    That’s where you come in!

    Meal Providers support our evening programs by preparing or purchasing dinner for participating families. This opportunity is perfect for individuals, families, community groups, student organizations, faith groups, or workplace teams who want to make a meaningful impact but may not be able to commit to ongoing weekly volunteering.

    Meal Providers are responsible for:

    • Preparing or purchasing a meal for program participants
    • Delivering the meal to CARE House (or preparing it on-site in our kitchen)
    • Assisting with meal setup and serving
    • Cleaning up following dinner

    All meals are served on:

    • Tuesday evenings for Family Support Group
    • Thursday evenings for Nurturing Parent Program

    Providing a meal is a simple but powerful way to support children and families on their healing journey — helping create a warm, welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and supported.

    What is CARE House of Oakland County? We are the sole Child Advocacy Center serving children and families in Oakland County, MI who have experienced abuse and neglect. Our team works to ensure that every child who walks through our doors receives compassionate support, advocacy, and access to the services they need to begin healing in a safe and child-focused environment.
