Every May, Foster Care Awareness Month is a special opportunity for us to share the news about the ministry of fostering. It is the perfect time to learn more about becoming a foster family, or even consider welcoming foster children into your home. Join us in creating a future in which every child is loved and nurtured in a Christ-centered family!

In Arizona, there are…

Over 2,600 children in foster care

Over 9,000 children in out-of-home care

Less than 2,300 licensed foster homes

Help us fill the gap between the number of licensed foster homes and the number of children in out-of-home care. Attend a free information meeting to learn more about fostering with Christian Family Care.


Answer the call to foster care and help vulnerable children in Arizona.

If you feel the Lord calling you to serve at-risk youth and families in your community, Christian Family Care will guide you through the process of opening your home to children in foster care.

A CFC foster care story…

Hannah’s father, Evan, was going through a rough patch in his life, so Hannah went to live with a foster family named the Johnsons*. The Johnsons not only lovingly cared for Hannah, but also built a relationship with Evan. 

Evan would visit the Johnsons and observe their family life. It was in these visits that Evan first witnessed what a healthy family looks like–more than twenty years into his life. The Johnsons helped him to start his own business so that he could get back on his own two feet again.  

Today, Evan’s business is flourishing. Best of all, Hannah now lives with Evan again, and both were recently baptized! Father and daughter now enjoy a strong relationship full of trust and love.
