We are partnering with Foster the Family to mobilize and equip the church to support foster families in Harford County. Foster children fall under every category established in Psalm 82:3-5. They are weak. They are —at least functionally—fatherless. They’ve been afflicted. They are destitute. They are needy. There is another category of people in these verses, though: The people of God whom He speaks directly to. The ones who are to give justice, maintain rights, rescue, and deliver. Us. All throughout Scripture we find the call to care for orphaned and vulnerable children. The orphan, the fatherless, the vulnerable are close to God’s heart, and caring for them is a function of being a follower of Christ.

You can support local foster families by: 

• Volunteering to serve in childcare during the monthly support group meetings hosted by Grace. Training is provided by Foster the Family. 
  
• Donating refreshments for the foster mom support group meetings.
  
• Volunteering to organize the blessing closet.
  
• Sharing Foster the Family Support Group info with foster/adoptive mom and prospective foster moms.The monthly support group includes short topical training and guided discussion for foster and adoptive moms.
