It is successful when many volunteers get involved at every level to help provide for the needs of the children.

Volunteer families open their homes to children in crises and provide a safe and loving home and family atmosphere for them on a temporary basis.

Volunteers are needed to help Host Families. We need people who are willing to babysit, help with transportation, provide meals, or support the family as needs come up.

Individuals or Small Groups who provide prayer, encouragement and support to volunteer and biological families. Examples include playgroups, coffee talks, burger night, etc.

Case Coaches:

Volunteers who facilitate the relationship between the biological and volunteer Host Family during placement. Their primary focus is ensuring the well being of the child while coordinating communications between the various agencies, Host Family, and the biological family.
