There are more children that need homes than available foster families in North Carolina.
10,500 children are currently in foster care in North Carolina—and that number is increasing every year. In many counties, children are forced to stay in state dormitories as they wait for an available foster family.
When children are separated from their biological parents, they inherently experience trauma—and that trauma only compounds the longer they lack the stability of a nurturing family.
Together, we can create lasting change in our communities.
We partner with families, individuals, churches, and organizations to mobilize our communities to meet the needs of vulnerable children and prevent burnout in foster parents.

“We felt like [fostering] was a way that we could be generous with our time and energy and have our own children join in a mission with us. We felt like this was a way that we could live out being the hands and feet of Jesus.”
