We exist to support and encourage foster, adoptive, and kinship families in central PA and beyond while mobilizing and equipping the community and local church so that children have a safe, loving, forever home in which to dwell.


 

What We Do:

God never intended for us to make this journey alone. We were created for community, and we believe that everyone can do something for the cause of caring for kids from hard places.

Dwell works to empower, equip and encourage local churches, and the community, to come alongside foster, adoptive, and kinship families with intention and encouragement. With an army of love and a network of support around them, foster, adoptive, and kinship families remain committed, and can focus on raising emotionally connected children whose lives are full of hope and promise for the future.

Through our programs and prayer, we bridge the gap.

We empower foster, adoptive, and kinship families to love well on the ones that God has entrusted to their care.
