Meet the Needs of Families in Your Community
The foster care crisis can’t be solved by just one hero. It will take thousands of churches, organizations, and agencies working together to make sure every child in North Carolina has a safe, secure home.
Look at your own county. Maybe there’s a mom who needs money to pay her utility bills to keep her family intact, or burned-out foster parents who need a responsible babysitter for a date night. You can make a real difference in their lives. Are you ready to start making a lasting impact in your community?
Take Your First Step Today
We all can play a role in proactively caring for the most vulnerable in our communities and addressing the wounds of the foster-care system. Choose how you want to get involved today.
Prayer
Commit to pray for those in the foster care and adoption process.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to ending the foster care crisis. But when we all use our unique, God-given talents, we can effectively meet the needs in our community—transforming generations.
Church Partnerships
Even if you don’t feel directly called to foster care, God calls the church to help the vulnerable. By strategically leveraging your church’s demographic and mission, we can help you find your own unique way to serve families in need.
Build a Sustainable Culture
Serving children and families in foster care is a marathon, not a sprint. That’s why we’re passionate about coming alongside you to build a sustainable culture of service so your church can make a difference for the long haul.
