The Need
The Need for Foster Families
Every child deserves a safe and loving home—a place where they can grow, learn, and thrive. However, the reality is that there are many children in our community who do not have opportunity. The need for foster families is both urgent and essential. By opening your heart and home, you can make an incredible difference in the lives of these vulnerable children.
Many children enter foster care due to family disruptions, such as parental substance abuse, incarceration, or homelessness.
Some children are removed from their homes because of safety
concerns, including physical or emotional abuse.
Neglect, which includes insufficient food, shelter, or supervision,
is another common reason for placement in foster care.
