Our Mission

What We Do

Growing your family,
changing their world.

We support, enrich, and empower Adoptive, Foster, and Single parent Families and households who are underserved, marginalized, or in need.

Family Care

Our goal is to advocate and support the provision of needed social and household services for foster, adoptive and underprivileged children, and families. An important mission is providing financial assistance to families through our DOF Scholarship. We support a volunteer Wraparound that collaborates with families to develop specific strategies for meeting the needs of the family. Our goal is to create networks of support for Transitional Age Youths.

Educational Support

Our goal is to cultivate a pipeline to increase the number of disadvantaged, underserved and under-represented minority students in colleges, medical schools and in health care-related fields.

Homeless Community Care

Our goal is to feed and support the homeless community. We build relations and collaborate with community service agencies to facilitate the transformation of the lives of our homeless neighbors in the community.
