Walk Us Home 5k for Foster Homes

The Nevada Division of Child & Family Services in partnership with Carson City CASA and Rennervation Foundation is proud to present their Third Annual Walk us Home 5k for foster homes.

Did you know there are roughly 60 foster homes in rural Nevada for the 400 youth in foster care? Some counties have as many as 14 homes, some counties have as little as 1 or 2. There are even Nevada counties that have no foster homes. When there are not enough foster homes in any given community, children are at risk of being displaced to outside communities that bring forth a whole new set of challenges and setbacks. Join us in brining attention to our huge need of foster homes because every child deserves to go home.

All proceeds for this event will go towards the 2025 Camp Rennervation that invites Nevada foster youth to experience an unforgeable summer camp in Lake Tahoe.
