Do You Have Room In Your Heart... And Your Home?

Foster A Better World. Become A Foster Parent.

A primary goal of the Foster Care Program is to create growth and systemic change in children and families in order to create future healthy generations of families. Whenever possible, the necessary steps are taken to reunite children with their birth families. If that goal is out of reach, foster parents act as a child’s support, helping to prepare them for adoption or independent living.

The House provides foster families for children in Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Oswego, and St. Lawrence Counties.

He started doing better in school; he was unstoppable.
