Fostering Together
Fostering isn't a one-family job.
Make a difference for a child in foster care.
Fostering Together is a ministry of our church that rallies around children experiencing foster care and the families who come alongside them.
This Be Rich season, there are a couple simple ways you can step into that story with us. You can purchase items from our Amazon wish list to bless a foster family or a caseworker. Purchased items will ship directly to us; no wrapping or delivery needed on your end.
On our Amazon wish list you will find:
-
Items for a foster family's Christmas basket
-
A variety of gift cards to encourage caseworkers as a small thank you for the hard work they do every day
Have questions regarding this Be Rich project? Contact Shelby Foyer, Director of Fostering Together at Decatur City Church.
