Second Saturday is a monthly gathering for all foster, adoptive, and kinship families.

Caregivers feel connected, encouraged, and supported while children engage in all the fun, outdoor activities at Joy Meadows.

Every Second Saturday features dinner for the whole family, and these four stations give predictability and fun for the children to look forward to: 

1. Barnyard - pet the goats and donkeys, or enjoy a ride on a horse; 

2. Nature - harvest in the garden, participate in a nature activity from planting to building or a nature trail scavenger hunt

3. Art - monthly themed craft in the art studio

4. Big Fun - Enjoy the Bouncing Pillow, barrel train rides, gaga ball, 9-square, and playground.

The Clothing Closet is always open for families to shop for needs.

Everyone is welcome to attend Second Saturday - please register every month so we can ensure enough food and supplies for your family!
