FAM's are not a "one size fits all" ministry. With your help, we will identify the strengths of your church and help you build the FAM around what you're already doing well! Below are some ways that other FAM's serve vulnerable children and families.
What is a
Care Community?
Care Communities provide tangible support for foster, kinship, and adoptive families to keep anyone from feeling they are in this alone. A team of volunteers from your church will wrap around a family with support such as providing meals, transportation, and childcare. Every Care Community has a team leader who will coordinate the volunteers and their services with the family.
