Causes: Children & Youth, Foster Care

Mission: Raleigh’s Place is a Christ-centered foster care ministry that exists to Live the Gospel by Loving the Fatherless. We serve Chilton and surrounding counties as we provide and support foster homes, host a free summer camp, provide clothing and other resources, train foster parents, and equip teenage foster youth for life after care.

Results: Since Raleigh's Place was founded, we have had over 300 foster children in our homes that have been cared for for varying lengths of time (we have also helped many of these children find forever homes, as well as recruited many families to become foster parents); we have served over 1000 foster and adopted children and children in relative placements at Camp 1:27 (these children have come from all across the state of Alabama including the following counties: Chilton, Shelby, Jefferson, Blount, Dallas, Montgomery, Autauga, Elmore, Escambia, and Madison); we have provided clothing for over 500 foster children and families through Katie's Kloset; we have provided food for families on a weekly basis; and we have worked with teenage foster youth to prepare them for life after care.
