FIVE18 Family Services

At FIVE18 Family Services, one of our foundational values is that every child has the right to a safe and healthy home. Because of that, we are leading the charge to confront the reasons foster care exists. From Operations to Marketing to Family Care, every team and ministry at FIVE18 is designed for and dedicated to this charge. Our Mission: To build communities of faithful relationships that ensure children are safe, and families are restored. Why? Vision 30! By 2030, our focus is to see every child in Central Virginia (or “our region”) safe in their own family or in another setting with caregivers supported by a local faith community. How? We meet families right where they are to provide healing, restoration, and hope. Family Care The Family Care team programs meet families where they are by providing help to families in crisis to help stabilize where they are and build a meaningful life for themselves and their children. We provide support for kinship caregivers, foster families, short-term placements for children, and long-term placements for children. We meet families where they are and help them to thrive. Connect Our Connect team will help you find your place. We partner with volunteers, churches, and agencies to strengthen families and keep them strong. We make the connections in our community to meet your practical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Counseling Sometimes you just need someone to talk to. Everyone’s story should be heard and we are hear to listen. To meet your needs, our counseling services extend into some of the local school systems, Hope For Tomorrow Counseling, Hope Academy for Counselor Excellence, and Compass Marriage.
