Give to Michiana Family Center

IMPACT YOUR COMMUNITY

In Michiana over 1,300 children are living in foster care. In addition hundreds more are navigating adoption or being raised by kinship caregivers who stepped up when no one else did. These families are doing something remarkable. But too often, they're doing it completely alone. One of the leading causes of placement disruption is foster, adoptive, and kinship parents feeling overwhelmed and unsupported. Partner with us as we work toward a Michiana community of empowered foster, adoptive and kinship families. Your donations will directly support families through mentoring, support groups, monthly meet-ups, meal delivery and more.
