Join 4Kids on their mission to provide a home for every foster child!  Ongoing Orientations.
​
Every day 7 to 11 kids are removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment in our community. Many will be separated from their siblings, live in shelters or group homes, or be sent out of their home county. 4KIDS believes every child deserves to be in a home, with a loving family. It is our goal to see more siblings stay together, to see every child inside a real home with a family, and to stay in their own community where they can thrive. We do this through hundreds of Christian foster families, all committed to walking the whole journey with a child.  Learn more...
