Compelled to Care is a multi-faceted ministry that was birthed by people who wanted a safe place to be with other people who know what it means to care for kids from hard places. We are less of a support group and more of a community full of imperfect people moving forward as we live out the gospel and care for the vulnerable.

ASKED QUESTIONS
THE RESTORE RETREAT HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL 2022 DUE TO THE CORONA VIRUS
We are sad to announce that the we have decided to cancel the Restore Retreat this year due to COVID-19. We did not come to this decision lightly and tried to avoid it as long as we could. We have already refunded 100% of your registration fees and t-shirt purchases back onto your cards. This should show up on your statement by Friday, March 20, 2019. We are committed to hosting this important event next year.
WHO CAN ATTEND THE RESTORE RETREAT?
The Restore Retreat is exclusively for current foster, adoptive & kinship moms. This is not designed as a place to get field experience. Compelled to Care has monthly dinner events that would serve this purpose. The Restore Retreat is a space for moms who are parenting kids from hard places to share truthful stories and to get spoiled by our team and donors who love to bless foster, adoptive & kinship moms.
How faith based is the restore retreat?
Restore Retreat is a Christian retreat. We will talk about Jesus, teach from the bible, pray and worship during our main sessions. Because of the amount of activities we plan a mom who is not a Christian could still be involved in the breakout sessions and enjoy the environment and still leave rested. Although most are, not every volunteer or donor who serves at the Restore Retreat is a Christian, but values what each mom does in caring for kids from hard places.
What should I expect?
The Restore Retreat includes 4 Main Sessions with worship and biblical teaching, 2 breakout sessions with lifestyle type workshops, activities and nightly events. 5 meals are are provided by the retreat center. You can see more details here

The Restore Retreat team does provide snacks at our events, but we do not accommodate for specific dietary needs. You are welcome to bring your own snacks - and many moms do - it usually involves LOTS of chocolate!
are training hours provided?
No. Compelled to Care provides training throughout the year, but we do not provide training at the Restore Retreat because we want you to focus on seeking time with God and connecting with other moms.
Can babies come?
We LOVE children and babies, but this is a kid-free zone.
CAn I have my own room?
Yes. We have limited single rooms. The cost is $400. This price pays for you and sponsors another mom.

Can I help set up?
