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.
Sips on 10th is partnering with Release and collecting gifts for our foster children tomorrow during their Miracle On 10th Street event! 🎁 There will be cookie decorating, holiday photos, ornament crafts, and a Christmas choir! This is FREE to attend! Grab your tickets before they are gone! 🎟️

Thank you SHARE Omaha for your support, encouragement, resources and volunteer contacts.
We appreciate you SO much and we love the "Giving Tuesday" snacks today.
Today is #GivingTuesday! Help us reach our goal this season to raise $120,000 so more stories, like this one from one of our mentors, are possible:
"I’ve been mentoring Hezekiah since spring 2022. Release asked if I’d be willing to work with him because, like me, he’s driven and curious. He is a thinker and wants to go deeper than most of his peers.
"Interwoven in each activity are encouraging conversations reminding Hezekiah that his future is bright. I like to believe each time we are together, it helps Hezekiah gain confidence in his God-given potential.
"I thought I wouldn’t make a great mentor because I’m so analytical. What kid wants an analytical grown man as a mentor? As it turns out, there are kids who need someone just like me. What a blessing this has been. I’m grateful for Release and its partnership with The Hope Center."

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
- Annual Gala Silent Auction
- Release More Love Christmas Drive
- Foster Family & Mentoring Events
