❤MFC in Action!💙
Last week MFC was able to be a part of the launch of the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services Lafayette Community Collaboratives! Building a unified partnership with community leaders is the key to serving the children and families of Louisiana! We were also invited down to New Iberia, LA to be a part of the Boys and Girls Club, to share with the community what it means to be a MFC TFC Parent!
Throughout May, churches in six cities across the state came together to host and sponsor Appreciation Luncheons for National Foster Care Appreciation Month, showering our incredible Foster Caregivers with love, gratitude, and celebration! 🙏 We're overjoyed by the outpouring of support from our amazing church and business partners who made this possible! Thank you all for your continued support for our selfless MFC Therapeutic Foster Caregivers, who are true heroes, providing a safe haven for children and youth to heal, grow, and flourish. 💕

· The story of Methodist Foster Care begins in 2015 when Louisiana United Methodist Children & Families Services saw Louisiana was about to experience a huge loss of therapeutic foster care homes following a national provider’s decision to leave our state. We responded by creating Methodist Foster Care and we have grown to provides therapeutic foster care services throughout Louisiana. We have offices in Monroe, Alexandria, Lafayette, Covington, Houma, and Shreveport. Our mission is we guide children and families home to experience God’s love by following the teaching of Christ. We are able to fulfill our mission by providing a holistic approach to healing children from hard places.
