Foster the Family 5K

Foster the Family DC is looking forward to hosting their annual Foster the Family 5K and Family Fun Day at Lake Fairfax to benefit kids in foster care and their families. This event is open to all Foster, Adoptive, Kinship Families and Members of the Community.

Awards will be given to the overall top 3 male and female finishers and top 3 male and female 13 & under finishers.

Foster the Family DC provides immediate emergency support and long-term holistic care to foster families and children in the DMV area. Our dedicated staff and team of committed volunteers deliver practical necessities to the doorstep of a foster family immediately after the placement of a child in the home. Our Foster Care Packages provide everything the child needs, from pajamas and clothing to hygiene necessities and comfort items, as well as a meal for the entire family.

Along with meeting practical needs, we provide wraparound care to the foster parents and family through community, education, and special events. With a growing network of families, our team works tirelessly to bring local foster families the support they need and deserve.
