Nebraska 117

Nebraska 117 exists to equip, support, and provide rest so that foster families thrive. We provide care for vulnerable children by establishing Care Teams that provide practical and tangible support to foster families around Nebraska. A care team, much like an extended family, is a group of 6-10 people who support and serve a foster family. This team provides regular and ongoing help such as meals, childcare, laundry or yard work. Parents who foster need to know they’ll be well-supported. Children in foster care have unique needs and require intentional focus from their foster parents. Foster families need a
community to surround them in their calling. 50% of foster families quit within the first year. With a Care Team, greater than 90% will foster beyond one year. Not everyone is called to be a foster parent, but everyone can play a role. Visit www.nebraska117.com or contact us at letstalk@nebraska117.com to find out how you can support vulnerable children.
