Fostering Together
Fostering isn't a one-family job.
Make a difference for a child in foster care.
Fostering Together is our community inside Decatur City Church rallying around the kids in our city in foster care and the families who show up for them.
Fostering Together exists because every child deserves a safe place to land, and we walk alongside the families who make that possible. With the right community around you, fostering is more sustainable than you might think.
Not ready to foster but want to show up for families who are? You can provide a meal once or twice a month or walk alongside a child as a mentor.
