Bethany for Children & Families

09/10/2025

At Bethany, we believe strong families build strong communities. 💙

One of the ways we strengthen families is by supporting children who need a safe, loving place to call home. Foster parents play a life-changing role by offering stability, care, and hope when it’s needed most. 🌟

✨ When you become a foster parent, you’re not just opening your home, you’re opening the door to brighter futures.

💬 Imagine being the reason a child feels safe, a parent feels supported, or a family finds stability. That’s the impact you can have when you partner with Bethany.

💙Whether you give, volunteer, or share our mission, you’re helping us write stories of resilience and hope.

Thank you Project Linus for keeping our community warm!💜 It may seem like a small thing, but a blanket can mean safety, care, and hope for someone going through a difficult time. We’re so grateful for partners like you who remind our community that no one is alone.
