Faith Partners
What God the Father considers to be pure and genuine religion is this: to take care of orphans and widows in their suffering and to keep oneself from being corrupted by the world.
– James 1:27 (TEV)

Caregivers Strong
Resource/Foster Parents/Caregivers are one of the most important functions in the life of a child or young person who have had to leave their origin family home. 3FN believes that Caregivers must receive high quality support to ensure they provide a high-quality living experience for the children in their care. We support Caregivers with support groups and in-person gatherings to build community and exchange information.
