WHAT IS FOSTER VILLAGE

Foster Village is a 501(c)3 nonprofit designed to support and serve local foster families.

Our goal with Foster Village York is to bring the community of foster and birth families here together to provide them with the necessary resources in order to properly care for children in foster care and work towards the ultimate goal of reunification.

Foster Village York's short-term goal is to begin providing new items for foster placements such as car seats, diapers, formula, and other child needs, and to host family events as well as offer services for multiracial families, such as haircare classes and more. Our long-term goal is to open a dignified visitation center in the area, which is a significant need. Any amount you can donate will help us to reach these goals and help those in need in York County!
