What is World Foster Day?

World Foster Day on May 31 raises awareness about foster care and the children who cannot safely remain with their families. Established in 2018, it celebrates foster parents, social workers, educators, and mentors while amplifying the voices of those with lived experience in care. The day advocates for family-based solutions over institutional care.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
