is God in His holy habitation.”—Psalm 68:5

Serve a Foster/Adopt Family! One way to serve is being part of a Care Community that provides “wrap around” support for a fostering or an adoptive family. Care Communities support & serve foster families and children in foster care by providing ongoing practical help such as meals, prayer, childcare, tutoring, transportation, laundry, yard work, etc
