Every child needs and deserves a safe and nurturing environment. Child abuse and drug use has left children battered, physically and emotionally exploited, neglected and oftentimes at risk in their own homes. Our Foster Care program provides services to children and teens who need temporary alternative living conditions. Together with our wonderful foster parents, we provide safe, stable, loving and nurturing homes for children in need. For those interested, a Foster/Adopt option includes families that are willing to provide a permanent commitment through adoption or guardianship if reunification with parents is not possible.
