For Social Workers & Case Managers

Refer a Family

You know what families need. We mobilize the community to deliver it. One referral — real, tangible support for a family on your caseload.

You're doing more with less every day.

Foster care and adoption caseworkers carry enormous loads. You're tracking placements, managing transitions, filing paperwork, and still trying to make sure each family feels seen and supported — often with few community resources to point them toward.

Becoming Kin was built to be the resource you've been looking for: a coordinated, volunteer-powered network that responds to what you tell us families actually need.

    Simple referral process One form. We handle everything from there — matching volunteers, sourcing goods, and coordinating delivery.

What We Can Provide

Tell Us What a Family Needs

We take that information and connect the right volunteers and donors to make it happen.

🏠

New Placement Support

Welcome home kits, clothing in the right sizes, comfort items, and essential supplies — assembled and delivered quickly when a new child enters a home.

🎂

Celebrations

Birthdays, finalization days, and milestones that deserve to be honored. We create meaningful moments for families who might not have the bandwidth or resources to do it alone.

🍽️

Meal Support

Coordinated meal delivery during high-stress transitions — new placements, post-adoption adjustment, or family crisis — so parents can focus on their children.

🎒

School Readiness

Back-to-school supplies, uniforms, and grade-specific kits assembled by volunteers and ready to go when a child needs to start school on short notice.

🤝

Community Connection

Connecting families to our broader network of events, peer support, and ongoing volunteer relationships — not just one-time help, but lasting community.

Custom Requests

Have a need that doesn't fit neatly into a category? Tell us. If we can mobilize around it, we will. We're built to be flexible.

The Referral Process

Simple. Respectful. Fast.

We designed this to add zero burden to your workload.

1

Submit a Referral

Fill out our short referral form. Tell us the family's situation and what you believe they need. No lengthy paperwork — just the basics.

2

We Review & Match

Hogan reviews every referral personally. We match the family's needs to active projects and available volunteers within 24–48 hours.

3

Volunteers Take Action

Our vetted volunteers assemble, coordinate, and deliver what the family needs — always through the channel that works best for the family.

4

You Stay Informed

We follow up with you after delivery. You'll know what was provided, when, and how the family received it — so it stays on your radar.

"No family on my caseload should have to go without because I didn't know where to send them. Becoming Kin is what I wish had existed ten years ago."
