Our mission is to sustain a faith collaborative, to provide resources, wellbeing and safety for families and children impacted by the child welfare system.

A Project of Community Partners

3FN was established with the understanding that the challenges faced by families navigating the child welfare system are complex and often require a multifaceted approach.

We recognized the power of bringing together various organizations, in particular faith-based organizations, each with its own unique strengths and capabilities, to create a more comprehensive and effective response to these challenges. 3FN uses a collective impact model to address the racial disparities for children in the child welfare system.

What is a Collective Impact Model?

A collective impact model is a collaborative approach to address complex social issues or challenges by bringing together multiple organizations, each with their own unique strengths, resources, and expertise.

3FN serves as the backbone support for the collaborative model, bringing together partner organizations to ensure their efforts align.

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
