May is National Foster Care Awareness Month

Because every child deserves a bright future.

May is National Foster Care Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness of the current need for foster parents. With over 391,000 children in foster care in the United States, there is a critical need for foster parents and loving homes.

National Foster Care Awareness Month is also a time to recognize foster parents everywhere and those supporting children to heal and grow. Foster parents do so much more than give a child a home. They’re advocates, teachers, and family to the children they care for. With the help of our caring staff, foster parents, who we call Mentors, provide the support children need to thrive, wherever their life journeys take them.

Trusted foster care provider since 1980

For over 40 years, Mentor Foster Care has been a trusted foster care provider. Our belief then was the same as it is now, that children belong in families, where they can get the love and support they need to thrive. 

Be a part of their story.

As a foster parent, you can be a part of a child's story. Foster parents provide loving, nurturing homes where children with trauma, behavioral challenges, or medical needs can heal and grow. Foster parents are people like you who make amazing things possible. Together, we change lives. Find out how you become a foster parent and make a difference in a child's life.
