CAFO FOSTER MOVEMENT
CAFO Foster Movement brings together CAFO members to work together to see followers of Christ provide more than enough for children and families before, during and beyond foster care throughout the U.S. The brand new MoreThanEnoughTogether.org website is the rallying point for organizations, churches, and advocates from across the country to build local foster care movements in each of the 3,142 counties in the U.S. This national movement facilitated by the CAFO community is working to see 10% of churches in every county actively engaged in foster care ministry by 2025.
The Foster Movement Podcast The Foster Movement Podcast, featuring former foster youth and national leaders in foster care advocacy, provides powerful insights and practical tools to help foster parents, advocates, organizational leaders, and churches work together to provide more than enough in their communities.
