No one can do everything, but
Everybody can do something.
Kids and families are hurting.
As a growing organization, we will always need foster parents, mentors, and staff. Not everyone who wants to help can make that kind of commitment. Thankfully, Release has a multitude of ways to get involved. No matter your skillset or availability, we're confident there is a place for you on our team. Whether you are a small business owner, a dedicated mentor, church or youth group, our job is to connect the children and families we serve with loving and caring members of the larger Omaha community.

Foster Care Support Volunteers
Not everyone feels they can take a child into their home, but there are still many ways you can support the foster families who do.- Meals
- Foster parents are busy driving kids around to various appointments. Sometimes a quick and tasty freezer meal or gift card is enough to help keep things moving.
- Childcare
- Foster parents need time for date nights, respite, and support group meetings.
- Household support
- Every foster home has its own unique needs with unique opportunities to serve. Maybe it's yard work, home maintenance, vehicle or computer repairs. If you have a desire and a special skillset, let us know. We'll find someone who could benefit.
Volunteer Groups
If you’re not coming alone, we have ways for you and your team (business, church or group) to help while having fun together.Event Volunteers
The more hands that help, the lighter a heavy work load. We have several events where you can make a big impact on the event’s success.- Bill Ellett Memorial Golf Classic
