Foster Care in Michigan
We’re in this together.
A child in foster care doesn’t need a headline. They need a neighbor, a family, a community who shows up. Why? Because 9,961 Michigan kids woke up in foster care – away from everything familiar to them, with the hope that someone would show up for them.
Get Involved
Find Your Place in This
Here’s what we’ve learned after more than 130 years of serving families across the state: the answer will never be one heroic family doing it all. It takes a whole community – neighbors, congregations, friends and families – each doing their part.
Not everyone is meant to be a licensed foster parent—but everyone can do something. There are many ways to get involved. Where do you fit?
