Foster care is the temporary placement for children who have been removed from their parents' care.  These children have been sheltered for no fault of their own!  And these children need a place to stay while their parents address the issues causing their displacement.

​There is currently an URGENT NEED for MORE FOSTER HOMES.

Could you open your heart, and your home, to help a child?  
Start the process to become a Foster Parent today!

Speak Up For Kids, through their Foster Palm Beach program, is devoted to finding caring homes for abused, abandoned, & neglected children in Palm Beach County. 
The most pressing need is for more foster homes. Not everyone can foster but...
Everyone. Can. Do. Something! 

There are many ways you and your team can help kids. Foster, Adopt, Adovcate, Mentor, provide jobs, apprenticeships, etc.  Just Do Something because these kids need us!

Could you schedule a service project at a local foster home? Could you host a donation drive of items or funds to help foster parents meet the kids needs. (Donations are accepted through Speak Up For Kids PBC)  Are you a Realtor hosting an open house and could share information about kids who need caring homes?
