How to Help

Foster House Project is raising funds to purchase, renovate, and operate a home in Madison County where children can stay in a welcoming environment while a foster placement is arranged. We also partner with MCFAPA to provide care bags for children entering foster care right now — before the house is open.

There are several ways to give, depending on what you’d like to support.

Give to the Capital Campaign

These donations support purchasing and renovating the home, furnishing it, and covering the first year of operating expenses.

Ways to Help

Your support helps children in foster care. Here are ways you can contribute:

  1. Financial Donations: Your donation helps us acquire and renovate the property, furnish it, and cover operating costs. Every dollar brings us closer to providing a safe home for these children.

  3. Spread the Word: Share our mission with your network. More awareness brings more support.

  4. In-Kind Donations: We welcome furniture, clothing, toys, and other essentials. These items create a comfortable home for children.
