Key Impact Areas
Children are safer when families have what they need. Unfortunately, 76% of children in foster care are there for solvable, poverty related issues. And in our community, more than 20% of children are living below the poverty line. Our stability programs collaborate with local churches to ensure families are connected to a caring community who is ready to stand in the gap for families facing economic and social insecurities.

Material items are a good start, but we want to empower caregivers and providers with the skills to understand the unique needs of children with traumatic histories, give children the grace of our unhurried presence, and help them heal. Through our Trauma Competencies, we delivered nine in-person sessions, twelve virtual sessions, and hosted the Entrusted Conference with seventeen breakout and main session opportunities for education and personal development.
