At Kids First, Inc., we will embark on a transformational journey to provide a healing sanctuary for children and families, because every child's life is at stake, and families deserve restoration and the opportunity to thrive together.

Our mission is to create a nurturing environment where children can heal, grow, and find their way back to the loving embrace of their families. We understand that a strong, stable, and unified family is the ultimate goal, and we will tirelessly work towards restoring families whenever possible.

With your partnership, we can build a future where children find solace, families are empowered, and love triumphs over adversity.

  • When I considered becoming a foster parent, I wanted to provide a home where kids could feel safe and loved. But I had a lot of questions. How much work would it take? Could I be successful? Could I handle unpredictable situations? Kids First is extremely helpful and very skilled at communicating exactly what foster parents need. I can call them day or night, and someone answers the phone to support me. There’s a genuine sense of community with other foster parents, and I never feel alone in this incredibly rewarding journey.

  • The process of foster parenting is challenging and, at the same time, immensely rewarding. Carla and the team at Kids First have made sure I know what to expect at every phase. They prioritize relationships and provide a human touch so we can be the best advocates possible for the kids. I’ve encouraged many friends and co-workers to start the training process and become involved with Kids First.

  • Being a foster parent comes with its challenges, often stirring deep emotions. Through these moments, we've discovered the unwavering support and blessings that Kids First brings into our lives. Their commitment to being there whenever we need it, day or night, has been our lifeline. Our family has been fortunate to be a part of both the adoption process and the restoration of biological families. Witnessing these families come back together with the support they need is incredibly rewarding. Through Kids First, we've been able to contribute to this transformative work, fostering not just children's growth but also their families' healing.
