Foster Care
Lighting Pathways for Foster Children
Children in foster care need love and support in order to heal. Hephzibah offers a full spectrum of foster care services for children in need of loving homes. We help children heal and prepare them for the next step in their foster journey, whether it is returning to biological family members, or in an adoptive home. Hephzibah also recruits, trains and supports foster parents who open their homes to children in need.
