Serving Foster Families and Communities Across Hampton Roads

At Bubby's Place, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their circumstances. Founded by former foster parents who remain connected with the children they’ve cared for, we are dedicated to providing resources, hope, and a brighter future for foster children and their caretakers.

Our Mission

We proudly serve social service communities throughout Hampton Roads, Virginia, with a primary focus on Suffolk. Our reach extends to Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Newport News, Hampton, and other surrounding cities.

Our goal is to make a lasting impact in three key areas of foster care needs:

1. Supporting Caretakers Supplying essentials like diapers, wipes, baby clothes, and other necessities to ensure infants and toddlers in foster care are safe, comfortable, and loved.

2. Empowering School-Age Kids Providing shoes, clothing, school supplies, and funding for field trips, sports, and extracurricular activities so every child can embrace their education and reach their full potential.

3. Launching Bright Futures Assisting foster children aging out of the system at 18 by offering scholarships for college and funding for trade school tools, helping them transition to independence and success.

Why We Do What We Do

Bubby’s Place was founded with love and firsthand experience. Our founders have witnessed the challenges faced by foster families and remain deeply connected to their former foster children. This personal connection inspires our mission and commitment to supporting the Hampton Roads foster community.

Get Involved

Your support makes all the difference. Whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading the word, you can help us ensure no child or caretaker feels unsupported. Together, we can give foster children and their families the tools, resources, and encouragement they need to build a brighter future.

Suffolk and Western Tidewater is the heart of our mission, and the entire Hampton Roads area is our community.
