CBC, in collaboration with South Texas Alliance for Orphans, has launched the CBC Alliance Prevention Network to help provide practical and physical items to families in crisis. Meeting these tangible needs helps to change lives and reverse the foster crisis. Roles include helping with funding, providing items, delivery, and prayer.

CBC supports children, caseworkers, and families in capacity to help protect peace and negate burnout. Various CBC Ministries pack Caseworker Kits to be distributed throughout the year, and at CBC-hosted Caseworker Appreciation events. CBC also provides school supplies and backpacks to kinship families to help alleviate new school year budgets. 

You can help protect children, families, and caseworkers by supporting them in these various opportunities … 

• CBC Women are stepping up to “Adopt-a-Foster Family” to build community and support. Adoptees are asked to step into one touchpoint a month to show love and care to these families.
• Build-a-Caseworker Kit to provide items such as snacks, towels, and fidget toys to help caseworkers comfort children during an often scary time.
• Sign up for free Trauma-Informed Training to help you understand the why behind challenging behaviors and give you strategies and practical tools to disarm fear-based actions.

The biggest request from foster families is respite care and babysitting. The South Texas Alliance for Orphans online Babysitting Collaborative allows you to become certified on your schedule, to give foster families the support and respite they need to keep going.
