The Brood, Diocese of S. Ohio

“The Brood is building a community of joyful belonging, with God’s help, for foster, adoptive, and kinship families in Southern Ohio. Amid a pandemic of loneliness (which can be heightened for foster/adopted youth who can struggle to find a sense of social connection and belonging) we are gathering regularly and offering spiritual support, community connection, and tangible resources to families. We are meeting families “where they’re at” and responding to the felt needs of the community.” – The Rev. Olivia Hamilton
