OUR VISION:
Connecting Children in Need with Churches and Families Who Care.
We want to connect all Louisiana foster children
to Christian families and churches!

“Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world."
James 1:27
