This Foster Care Awareness Month, The CALL shared with our church family about the urgent need facing children in Sharp and Independence Counties: around 80 local children are currently in foster care, and nearly 80% of those are placed outside our community due to the shortage of local foster homes.
The CALL is working to close the gap, and there are several ways to partner in that effort. Together we can help ensure children in crisis experience safety, love, and hope close to home.
As a church we are supporting local kids in care in a tangible way by collecting bottles of shampoo and conditioner in a basket in the foyer. To connect as a CALL volunteer, learn more about donating, join the prayer team, or explore the idea of fostering, connect with or reach out to Ashley Beller by messaging her or the church directly.
