Respite Night is a free event that gives parents of children with disabilities the opportunity to enjoy a few hours away while their child and siblings are cared for and engaged by a team of Forest Hill Church staff and volunteers. Throughout the evening, children enjoy a variety of games and activities in a safe, fun, and welcoming environment.
This event is open to families who have children with disabilities ages 3–14, as well as their siblings.
Respite Night is also a meaningful way to Invest in the Kingdom by coming alongside families with the love of Jesus and serving them in a practical, joyful, and caring way. We welcome adults and students age 14 and up from Forest Hill Church to serve.
Volunteers arrive at 4:00pm for training and dinner before families arrive. Whether you are welcoming families, helping with activities, playing with siblings, or serving as a buddy to a child with disabilities, there is a place for you. Experience is not required, and training will be provided.
