foster care

Over 10,000 children go through the Washington State child welfare system every year, many of whom struggle with trauma and need  a higher level of emotional and behavioral care than your average child.  Without a permanent or lasting sense of family, once these children become adults, they face a high probability of becoming human trafficking victims, incarcerated, homeless, and/or becoming pregnant before their 19th birthday.  These children need not only a stable and loving home, but a community who can care for and support them and their families.  

With training from Olive Crest and Promise868, Care Communities are teams who support one or more foster or adoptive families by providing things like weekly meals, transporting children to appointments, laundry assistance, and more.  Without this much needed support, foster and adoptive parents burn out and struggle to provide the level of love and care their foster/adoptive child needs.  Watch the videos below to learn more about how you can help.
