About LifeLine

About the Lifeline Foster Care Program

 

"Lifeline has joined forces with other local agencies, churches, and the Department of Human Resources to recruit, train and license foster families for children in the State of Alabama foster care system. The need for licensed foster families has become apparent as the number of children needing placements continues to increase. With so few families available to take in children who have been at risk in their birth families’ homes, children are being placed into overcrowded foster homes. This hinders them from receiving adequate care and does not promote the best interest of each child.

Many families have responded to the need for foster families in the State of Alabama, specifically our local counties. Lifeline has continued to see this movement spread and is now working to license and support families from churches throughout the Birmingham (& Now Huntsville) area. In this new facet of our ministry, we have witnessed God’s provision of Christian families to meet the physical, educational, emotional, and spiritual needs of  children in foster care."

LifeLine Huntsville needs your help to provide resources and social workers to train families willing to stand in the gap for these children and reduce some of the burden (of training & recruiting) on our local DHR offices.
