Fostering the Family seeks to care for foster children and families by surrounding them with care communities. They seek to see these care communities formed by bringing awareness within the local church to the issues within the foster care system. Throughout this process they equip and support the care communities that form within local churches. Their ultimate goal is to make a lasting impact in vulnerable children’s lives. 

​

How You Can Get Involved:

One way you can get involved is by joining their Meet the Need Technology Portal. This will connect you to specific foster care related needs within your own community and enable you to become a catalyst for care within the church.

GirlUp GVL seeks to empower young women with positive formative experiences to help them overcome obstacles and instead find great opportunities. We believe that the best way we can help these young women thrive is by introducing them to the gospel of Jesus, which is what all of our volunteers who work with GirlUp seek to do. 

How you can get involved:

Apply to be a volunteer tutor or mentor. Girl up needs older women to come and spend time with the girls in their program on a weekly basis. 

Volunteer to bring the girls a meal. We have several MCs that provide a meal for the Girlup team and students several times a year. Encourage your MC to do this as well!

The mission of the Emerson Rose Heart Foundation is to change the future for those affected by congenital heart defects as we share the love and hope of Jesus Christ.

How you can get involved:

Each year the ERHF needs volunteers to help with a variety of needs. There are opportunities to volunteer with planning, executing, or follow-up with a specific event, as well as ways that individuals can serve Heart Families and Medical Staff.
