continue their journey loving on kids from tough places.

schools, churches, and community.

to do what’s best for these families.
May is Foster Care Awareness Month!
During the month of May FAM along with other community partners will be bringing awareness to the
need for foster and adoptive parents in Jefferson County. If you are interested or would like more
information about becoming a foster or adoptive family, please reach out to FAM. Nate and Falon are
former foster parents and can answer questions you may have.
We work with two organizations that do certifications/licensure: Project 1.27 and The Collaborative
Foster Care Program (CFCP).
If you are called to foster or adopt, you won’t do the walk alone - FAM and the Foothills Calvary
community will be there for support along the way. Please prayerfully consider opening your home up
to vulnerable children.
Foster Care Awareness Fundraisers in the Area
Supporting those is foster care and their families is a community-wide effort. We have found two
organizations that are fundraising this month to support kids in foster care. If you happen to go to
either Wendy’s or a Rockies game, consider going when you can also help raise money for kids in foster
care.
