Foster
The average time a child spends in foster care is 24 months...
YOU can MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Helping is as easy as 1, 2, 3, 4.
1:
GIVE $24Your dollars go to support foster children and the families that serve them through:
- Mobilizing and connecting volunteers to serve with local area ministries to foster, adopt, advocate and serve.
- Outreach opportunities to meet the requested needs of foster children.
- Awareness events to increase community response to the crisis.
2:
SHARE 24We invite you to dedicate 24 seconds, minutes, hours or days to raise awareness for these innocent children facing difficult times.
Spend that time doing something you love: run, bike, CrossFit, swim, paint, bake, walk, make a craft with your family, listen to a podcast about foster care... anything goes.
Get your family, friends, church, neighbors, co-workers and your community involved!
3:
PRAY 24"For in you the fatherless find compassion." Hosea 14:3. This scripture reminds us of the 'why' behind this campaign: we are called by God to be the hands and feet of Jesus to the most vulnerable in our community!
We believe in the power of PRAYER.
That's why we're so excited to invite you to join us in praying for the foster care community all month long!
Each day, we encourage you to pray one of the 24 prayers using the following prompts and scripture for the next 24 days or the next 24 minutes.
4:
REPRESENT 24Be a 24 Ambassador & rally together with friends to raise $240 for Foster Care!
We will give you everything you need to invite your friends to support the campaign!
Tag friends and family on social media. Invite people through text or email and challenge them to join in to give 24 for Foster Care. Let's encourage others to take notice of these forgotten children while sharing how to help.
Here's a Tool Kit to make it easy!
Wear Blue
Blue is the official color of Foster Care Awareness Month. You can wear blue to show your support for kids in foster care.
In Florida, vulnerable children have nowhere to go... foster families & case managers are at the breaking point. We have a uniquely engaging event to recruit more Christians to bring their piece to meet the need, to become a foster family, or to support those who already are. So, instead of a list of traumatized kids waiting for a bed, we can one day have a waiting list of Christian homes ready to be a safe place.
