Foster Families

Give a child a new lease on life.

Do you feel the call to be a Foster Family? Foster Families open their homes and hearts to children in need of a safe and loving environment. Our Foster Families receive extensive training and support, and the process of becoming a Foster Family usually takes a minimum of four months.

Children enter foster care for many reasons - poverty, abuse, and neglect - but never because of their own choice. We are always looking for families with room in their homes and their hearts to care for one or more children in foster care. We provide our Foster Families with training, compensation to help with expenses and round-the-clock support from our incredible staff. For families looking to become a forever family for a child in foster care, we provide a full array of supportive services to make that dream a reality.

Listen to Michael Meehan, CEO of Marygrove (Catholic Charities of St. Louis Ministry) discuss the state of foster care in Missouri and the need for more Foster Families to stand in the gap to address this important issue.
