One More Child Home
Community Health and Education Foundation (CHEF) is pleased to partner with Agape Villages for the One More Family campaign, helping prepare more foster families to welcome children in need of safe, stable, and loving homes.
Through December 31, CHEF will match every eligible donation by 50%. For every $2 you give, CHEF adds $1, turning a $100 gift into $150 in support. CHEF also covers all administrative and processing fees, ensuring that your full donation, plus CHEF’s match, goes toward supporting Agape Villages’ mission.
One More Family Can Change a Child’s Life
California calls it a “placement of last resort.” Without a foster family ready, a child may stay in a shelter, county office, or hotel.
Tonight, six-year-old Liam is sleeping in one, his third place this week. “Am I sleeping here tomorrow?” he asks. The social worker doesn’t know.
Before welcoming a child like Liam, families need training, background checks, interviews, and a home safety check. Your gift helps cover these steps.
Will You Give Today to Help Get One More Family Ready?
A foster family means Liam may stay at his school, have someone remember how he likes his toast, and sleep in the same room night after night. Without one, he may move again.
You can help change that.
Picture a prepared family answering the phone: “A six-year-old boy needs somewhere to sleep tonight.”
“We are ready.”
An hour later, Liam enters a bedroom with a comfortable bed and dresser of his own. His foster mother says, “This is your room.” He puts his clothes away and his stuffed dog on the pillow. He finally has somewhere safe to stay.
Your Gift Could Change the Next Child’s Story
Your gift helps Agape Villages prepare families to give children safe, stable, loving care. And with CHEF’s 50% match, your generosity goes even further.
To protect the privacy of children in foster care, Liam is not a specific child. His story reflects the real experiences of children Agape Villages serves.
