Description

Help Us Solve Central Florida's Foster Care Capacity Problem! The Foster Care Capacity ChallengeDid you know that the foster care system only has availability for 20% of the children who need a home? This scarcity of foster families means that two-thirds of children in foster care will change families, schools and/or communities seven or more times, and many of them will end up being two years or more behind their peers in school due to the constant disruption to their living circumstances and the accompanying emotional upheaval. With over 1,500 children in the foster care system in Central Florida alone, there is a very real and urgent need to provide safe, stable foster families and foster family supports to help these children in our community thrive. How You Can Help Together with your help, we will recruit, train, and support 100 new foster families, 100 family advocates, and 300 family support volunteers in Central Florida by 2023. Help Accelerate the FOF at Grace Landing’s momentum, expand our faith-community-of-care and meet the demand for more quality foster homes in our community. Please join our mission to help these children get the love, support, and skills they need to transition successfully to adulthood. With your help, every child will have a family, and every family will have the support they deserve.
