Better Together is a ministry that serves families who are going through a temporary crisis such as homelessness addiction, unemployment or health issues.  They help provide safe and loving Christian homes for children while their parents get back on their feet.  Placements range from just a few days to several months.

Guardian Ad Litem

Another way to serve vulnerable children in the foster care system is through the Guardian ad Litem program. A Guardian ad Litem plays a vital role in the life of the child whom they represent. 

Guardians gather information about the child’s life. They meet with the child they represent, the biological family, teachers, and other important people in the child’s life. Based on the information gathered, a Guardian ad Litem speaks on behalf of the child in court and shares their opinion on what is in the child’s best interest.
