Family Care
Family Care
That same year, approximately 10 million men and women experienced some form of domestic abuse. Children in foster care and survivors of abuse often carry with them fear, anger, and confusion surrounding their circumstances. But when someone chooses to love and support them with a Christ-centered heart, change is possible.
Our Foster Support program connects foster families with volunteers who provide them with the support they need to provide the best care possible to the children in their care.
Our Empowering Survivors program offers survivors a safe place to connect with volunteer advocates who can support them on their journey toward healing.
71% of foster parents we surveyed feel that the program enabled them to be better foster parents.
100% of surveyed foster parents said they trust their family’s volunteers.
88% of foster parents felt that this program at least somewhat caused them to view Christian churches more positively.
