Foster Care/Adoption Needs:

AGAPE's Foster Care and Adoption program serves children and families by providing safe, loving homes for children in need while supporting foster, adoptive, and biological families throughout their journey. Through training, advocacy, case management, and ongoing support, we equip families to care for children who have experienced trauma, loss, and uncertainty. Our team walks alongside families every step of the way, offering resources, encouragement, and practical assistance as they provide stability and hope to children in their care. Donations of household items, gift cards, diapers, wipes, and other essentials help meet the everyday needs of foster and adoptive families and allow us to respond quickly when children enter care.
Our goal is to strengthen families, support children, and create opportunities for healing, permanency, and hope through foster care and adoption.

While we are currently well-stocked with many baby essentials, we are always seeking support for the moms we serve through donations of hygiene products and household items.
