​ABOUT THE WAITLIST

We have a growing list of amazing families waiting to be matched in our Love Box program. Our heart at Bakersfield Angels is to serve every family that makes the decision to foster. Our organization and families need committed and caring volunteers to step in and be part of a community of support. Check out just a few of our awesome families below and reach out with any questions about how you can get involved!

MEET THE FAMILIES:

Family #1: Located in 93312
Kind family who is passionate about investing in children experiencing foster care. They do not need as much material help, but would love a night off once a month for a date night, or arts & craft activities for their young children! Children ages 16, 4, 2.5, 1.5, 8 months, and 3 months. 

Family #2: Located in 93312
Two dads who are both invested community members, who have been fostering for about 6 years. They have four darling kids--two 6 year olds, two 3 year olds! They are busy caring for their kids through activities, therapy, school, work, and bio parent visits, so they would love babysitting for a night off, or to have a group who is willing to spend quality time with the kids doing activities.

Family #3: Located in 93312
Mom and Dad entered into the foster care journey as a way to grow their family. They are financially stable but don’t have a lot of access to great childcare. They’d love a group who’d be willing to watch their 2 cute kiddos (age 3 & 4) once a month so they can have a date night! 
​
Family #4: Located in Mc Farland, 93250
This sweet grateful family has been dedicated to foster care for a long time! They have taken many short-term placements, and currently have 3 placements- a 4 month old, a 6 year old, and an 11 year old. This generous family is open to more placements as well! 

Family #5: Located in 93306
These generous foster parents give their heart and soul to loving kids experiencing foster care! They are a hard-working Spanish-speaking couple who currently have placement of a 9 month old boy and a girl who is almost 2 years old. They’d feel supported by a Love Box group who is willing to bring material items, such as clothes when they receive a new placement, or games and activities when they older kids in the home.

Family #6: Located in 93314
A friendly couple who has four kids (ages 6-10) in longer term placement in their home. They are busy with court dates, appointments, and school, so they would love a Love Box group who is willing to invest in the lives of these kids through tutoring, fun outings with the kids, and occasional babysitting.

Family #7: Located in 93313
This is a family of humble servants who have shown love to countless foster placements over the past 30 years. They literally have had one weekend away in their married lives! It would be ideal to have a church small group with a lot of energy and love for teenagers to stand in the gap to support this family through offering them a night off every now and then! 

Family #8: Located in 93308
This family is described by others as super heroes, always willing to give to others! They have two precious young children (one adopted through foster care, and a 6 month old baby). They are hoping for a Love Box group who would provide tangible Love Boxes, and possibly be in the same stage of parenting young children so that the moms could have playdates.

Family #9: Located in Arvin, 93203
This hardworking couple has opened their home to three sweet little ones, ages 5, 3, and 2 1/2! They would love to move toward adopting the children and have had them in their home for almost two years. They have many trips back and forth from Arvin to Bakersfield, so they would love to receive gift cards from their Love Box group, or meals delivered for their busy family! 

Take the next step.
