Welcome to Recharge!
We are committed to providing a safe and supportive program for foster and adoptive families.
Our desire is to empower caregivers by offering them the time they need to refresh, regroup, and recharge on their journey through foster care and adoption.
Whether you're a church looking to host Recharge nights or a family ready to sign up, we’re glad you’re here!
About
Our Mission
Recharge was created to provide a safe, supportive space for foster and adoptive parents as they navigate the journey of foster care and adoption. We also serve as a trusted resource for caseworkers, offering a reliable place to connect foster families with care and support within their local community. Grounded in James 1:27 and the call to care for orphans, we believe this mission takes a village—and we are honored to be part of that village for you, the children in your church family, and the surrounding community.
Recharge Family Respite Nights are one of the ways we live out this mission. By surrounding foster and adoptive families with consistent, practical, and prayerful support, we seek to ensure that no caregiver walks this journey alone. Through these nights of respite, we strive to be a community that shows up, steps in, and shares the load—helping families and social workers thrive while ensuring children feel seen, supported, and deeply loved.
Recharge Impact
“It isn’t often when my husband and I are able to have time together, much less a date night. As the parents of two young boys adopted from foster care, both of which require additional support, we are limited on childcare options. Recharge respite nights have been a blessing to our family in allowing my husband and I to have monthly date nights while we know our boys are safe. And best of all, they love going! Christina and the team plan fun evenings to ensure the kids are well engaged and enjoy their time together. Couldn’t ask for a better program.”

“Recharge has significantly enriched my spiritual journey and personal life. With nearly six years of experience in ministry, I have found the unique opportunities offered by Recharge to be unparalleled. Engaging with children similar to those in my prior student ministries has reinforced the importance of providing them with the love of Christ. I strongly endorse Recharge for anyone seeking to serve their church and community while enhancing their spiritual growth.”

“Recharge has been such a blessing to us. It gives us a worry free night out knowing our kids are safe, loved and cared for. Those few hours to just reconnect and breathe has made such a world of difference in our marriage. It’s more than babysitting, it’s support and encouragement for the families.”

" I work with preschool-aged children and cherish every moment with them, as each child is unique and special in their own way. While some evenings can be tough, the joy I feel when I see their smiling faces makes it all worthwhile!"

“Recharge is an event that our whole family looks forward to. Our kids are always asking when the next Recharge is! They love the fun activities, the kid-friendly food, and the volunteers they have come to know. As foster parents, we also look forward to having a stress free evening to ourselves and picking up very worn out kids after! We are so grateful for all the work that goes into these events and can’t wait to see the future of Recharge!”
Morgan Campbell
Foster Mom
Recharge was an incredible experience. Being able to love on these beautiful kids who are often seen “as the least of these” in the rest of society was so humbling. It put being the hands and feet of Jesus into a completely new perspective. I am so grateful for the way Recharge ministries is loving on foster families in the Triangle!

Host Churches
Equipping for the need
At our organization we begin by partnering with a host church that aligns with our mission of supporting vulnerable children and their caregivers. Once we have their commitment, we offer comprehensive training, mentorship, and valuable curriculum resources.
Our dedicated team collaborates closely with directors and their lead teams to ensure a successful and dependable respite night for families in need.
Together, we create a nurturing environment where families can find the support they deserve.
