Support Springs of Love
Nearly 400,000 children are in foster care right now. An estimated 50–70% of foster families step away within the first two years, often because they lack the community of support needed to carry out their call to love children in need.
At Springs of Love, we are building a culture of fostering and adoption in the Catholic Church so no family walks alone.
Support Springs of Love this month as together, we help more families say “Yes!” to fostering.
