The Village: Support Foster, Adoptive & Kinship Families
Love and serve foster, adoptive and kinship families by providing a safe and Jesus-centered support community. The community group meets once a month for meal and fellowship.
-
Don't Go Alone: Mentorship for At Risk Young Adults
Aged-out foster youth who are doing life alone are highly likely to end up facing chronic poverty, homelessness or worse. Together, we can change that! Don’t Go Alone is a faith-based mentorship program dedicated to connecting young adults to families, who will walk with them in life and guide them to a successful future.

Bridge Builders: Connecting the Community
Wild Oak Haven is dedicated to strengthening our community by supporting vulnerable children. We achieve this by empowering social workers, collaborating with local partners, and equipping churches with the knowledge and resources to make a meaningful impact.
THE REALITY
21,000
More than 21,000 youth leave foster care each year without reuniting with their parents or having another permanent family home.
You can be a part of the solution….
-
Join our prayer team and cover our foster families, young adults, staff and volunteers with prayer. We will email out specific prayer requests as they come in from our families as well, so you will be praying for real-time needs.
-
Provide practical wrap-around support that families need when caring for vulnerable children. Fifty percent of families that foster quit within the first year. With the proper support, many more can continue!
ex: meal train during new placement, respite child care, parent night out, sponsor a village meeting meal, etc.
-
Imagine being 18 years old and aging out of foster car without any support or network to rely on. A meaningful connection to just one caring, stable adult could make all the difference. The Don’t Go Alone program connects young adults to families or mentors. Become a mentor today!
-
Child Welfare Workers are on the front lines of seeking permanency and safety for vulnerable families, children, and communities. Burnout and turnover has negative impacts on children in care. We can connect you with social workers in your area and help you encourage them.
-
Are you interested in providing a temporary place of safety and love for a child while their parents learn how to care for them? Have you thought about giving a child a forever-home through adoption? We’re happy to walk with you and connect you to support and resources.
-
Wild Oak Haven wants to bring local churches and organizations together to increase the number of foster families and decrease the number of children awaiting adoption. Partner with our ministry to positively affect generations to come.

Your support helps provide care and hope to foster youth and families. Give today and make an eternal impact!
For as little as $134 per month, you can sponsor a young adult as they build lifelong connections.
