The mission is too big to do alone — we go together

Serving through shared resources, community events, and collective projects in Allen County.

The Foster Collaborative is a Christ-centered community that brings churches, agencies, and local partners together to serve kids and families in foster care. We believe the mission is too big to do alone — so we link arms, share resources, and respond to needs as one body. Our focus is simple: to reflect God's love through practical help, encouragement, and presence.

What We Do

We connect, collaborate, and serve as one community to support children and families in foster care through practical love and action.

About Us

We believe every child deserves safety, stability, and belonging - and that mission is too big to tackle alone.

Our Heartbeat

Families thrive when the community steps in together. The Foster Collaborative creates one table where churches, agencies, and community partners work side by side—motivated by our faith and our call to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

Faith and Collaboration

Our heart is to link arms with those who care deeply about foster care and want their impact to grow. By working together, we make it easier for families to find the help and hope they need.
