We're celebrating foster parents like Beck and Tom, along with staff and volunteers who make a difference in a refugee youth's life.

"We chose to foster because the need weighed in our hearts, and we knew we had something to give. It has been an honor to be part of a community committed to helping young people feel safe, supported, and cared for."

Thank you to everyone helping make a difference in the lives of refugee youth. If you've ever thought about getting involved, we'd love to connect and share how you can help make an impact. Call our office to speak with someone in our program or email [email protected].
