There are 515,000 children in Foster Care in the United States. There are approximately 5,000 children in Foster Care in Virginia. Of these children, more than 600 are waiting for adoptive families.
Children who age out of the foster care system , those who reach age 18 without achieving a permanent home environment, often face lifetime challenges, including homelessness, incarceration, and a lack of educational attainment.
Foster Love Ministries provides ministry and support to the local foster care community. We envision a community where foster families and children experience God’s Love through relational support, education, and tangible needs.
Foster Love Ministries wants to spread our message of hope and compassion. We believe that a single action can make a difference in the community, and that collective action can greatly impact the world. Through advocacy and outreach activities, our team works tirelessly each day to contribute their part to the greater good.
Did you know.. sometimes when a child enters foster care a trash bag is used to hold their personal belongings? A TRASH BAG! This is unacceptable. For very little cost, you can show a child they are loved and not forgotten. Perhaps you feel called to help, but feel that taking on a foster child is too difficult at this time. This is an easy way to brighten a child’s outlook.
