Nearly six million kids in America have experienced losing a parent to prison or jail at some point in their lives. Foreverfamily works to ensure that, no matter what the circumstances, all children have the opportunity to be surrounded by the love of family. Our organization focuses on providing services to children with incarcerated parents and their families. After 36 years, we are more committed than ever to our mission. We anxiously anticipate strengthening our relationships in the community to serve our children and families in new, innovative ways in 2024 and beyond. In the metro Atlanta area, Foreverfamily has several programs designed to nurture our kids socially, emotionally, and educationally in an enriching environmentOur program’s children come from 3 generational homes and range from month old infants to as old as 18 years old. Through Foreverfamily’s monthly prison trips, transportation is provided to 2 out of 4 women’s facilities in Georgia so that these children can visit their mothers. We partner with another agency so children can visit their fathers at select facilities. Our prison trips occur on the 2nd Saturday of every month, EXCEPT January, May, June, and July. In May we transport children on the first Saturday of the month. The ride to the prisons ranges from 3 hours to 6 hours roundtrip. The children spend 5 hours with their mother in either the Children’s Center or General Visitation. Access to the Children’s Center is by application ONLY. The children’s mother must talk to the Children’s Center Director and have no disciplinary reports when applying or enrolling in the program
