Foster families can go from two kids at the dinner table to five at the breakfast table. Being able to say yes to standing in the gap with vulnerable kids takes more than willingness, it requires substantial, practical support.

Is Your Faith Community Foster Friendly?
If you’re already part of a faith community, consider inviting them to become Foster Friendly. Here are some of the important ways faith communities can support foster care:
Teach about the intersection of foster care and faith to encourage more people to consider fostering, and to honor and encourage those who do.
Ensure their children and youth staff and volunteers are trauma aware.
Support a ministry for kinship and foster families.
Our Foster Friendly Faith flyer highlights these best practices and provides resources to help your community take the next steps. Share it with your leadership next weekend.
