Green Pastures
We have worked for almost 2 years with a ministry named "Green Pastures"; they have been instrumental in helping us get Club Kangaroo off the ground and with bringing local churches together for this relevant reason. They have recently published a video online which shows how they work with churches to provide respite care for families on a regular basis. You should be able to download it from their home page, but here is a direct link to the Windows file and Quicktime file in case you can't (note that are large downloads, about 30MB).
Although I think you will enjoy watching the video, I really just want you to know what a great resource Green Pastures is for a church or any organization. Even if you are not here in the Bay area, and most of you reading this are not, they will still be very glad to work with you to help set up or organize respite events or church programs. Even if they can't physically do the work themselves, they will help get you in touch with the right people. Even if this doesn't float your boat, please send the links to someone whom you think will benefit from it. Whatever we can do to support the children, and in turn their families, is a great thing.
