Advocating for families seeking to remain together in safe and healthy homes.

Why We Do It

Families undergoing crisis may be at risk of separation. Without the support of the community, children are often removed from their homes and put into the foster care system. Once in the system, it can take months or years before these families are successfully reunified and many never will be. Our goal is to step in before this happens.

  • To support family preservation by connecting parents in crisis with community relationships and partnering organizations.

  • A community united to keep families together.

  • Community, Empowerment, Connection, and Respect

  • Partnering organizations help us meet the physical needs of our families.

    We partner with local non-profits that offer essential services like housing, employment, mental health support, food, clothing and more so our families can thrive.
