We offer classes and assistance in things like parent education, financial empowerment, child and youth development, spiritual development, family coaching, counseling, and spiritual enrichment. If you or someone you know is interested in learning more visit https://hubs.la/Q02shKJB0.

Is your church interested in learning more about how to support foster and adoptive parents?
May is Foster Care Month and a great time to begin the conversation. A foster-friendly church may look like advocating for more foster families, creating a closet where families can shop for clothes and supplies, and offering training for members to be certified as babysitters or substitute caregivers. There are so many ways to rally around foster children.
