Abuse, neglect and foster care are a reality for about 2,700 vulnerable children in the Baltimore area. The first week–specifically the first 24 hours — of a new foster placement is the most trying for a foster child and family.

Foster the Family Baltimore brings practical support to the doorstep of a foster family at its most vulnerable time. Within 2-24 hours of a new foster placement, the Foster the Family Baltimore team will deliver practical necessities and comforting support to the doorstep of a foster family. Each family will receive a Foster Care Package that includes a meal, a note of encouragement, age-appropriate hygiene items, clothing, comfort items and more.

Volunteers can help by shopping for care package items, writing notes, making meals and more.

Young Life doesn’t start with a program. It starts with adults concerned enough about kids to go to them, on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship. Kids’ lives are dramatically impacted when caring adults come alongside them, sharing God’s love with them. Because their leader believes in them, they begin to see that their lives have great worth, meaning and purpose.
