There’s something really special about coming together for a cause that truly matters!

We invite you to attend Bingo & Belonging – A Foster Care Awareness Event on May 2nd, 2026 at The Children’s Home of Pittsburgh from 11am to 1pm. This will be more than just a day of games, it will be a powerful reminder of the importance of connection, community, and compassion. Every bingo card, every conversation, and every shared laugh will help shine a light on the realities children in foster care face every day.

Events like this create space not only to raise awareness, but to build belonging—for kids, for families, and for everyone who wants to make a difference. It’s about showing up, learning, and supporting one another in meaningful ways. Play bingo, win prizes, eat food. And most importantly, learn about foster care and how you can help.
