Foster Care

Grace Family Church supports Foster, Kinship and Adoptive families within the church, as well as at-risk children and families in the community. We offer help in practical, hands-on ways that provide support through challenging seasons. With simple acts like bringing a monthly meal, providing a box of diapers, or even donating money to help cover utility bills, we can all play a part in stabilizing vulnerable children and families. We also plan fun events for the families we support to help them connect to the church and to one another.
