CHILD: Congregations Helping in Love and Dedication
Congregations Helping in Love and Dedication (CHILD) is a unique collaboration between Texas' faith-based communities and Child Protective Services to find loving homes for children who have come into the state's care due to abuse and neglect. The goal of CHILD is to recruit and license foster and adoptive families from congregations across the state. Additionally, each congregation will have the opportunity to develop supportive services for their foster families. These services could include:
- respite care,
- reduced tuition for day care,
- tutoring and after-school programs,
- transportation,
- celebrations for special occasions, and
- enrichment activities.
