It takes just a minute to give a gift that will help a vulnerable child experience a safe and loving home
Today, more children are entering into foster care because of abuse and neglect than there are homes that are ready to provide love and healing for them. Together, we can change that. Our vision is that one day we will see a waiting list of families rather than a waiting list of children in need of a home. Not only is this a great way to love our neighbor in need, but we believe that this is a powerful picture of the Gospel to a watching world.
Your gift is a tax-deductible investment in the future of vulnerable children in your community.
