Together, we’re building a community where every child in foster care has the strong, supportive family they need—today and for the future.

Did you know? In Western Massachusetts there are twice as many foster kids as there are homes for them.

Supporting current foster families is critical to keeping our kids safe in stable homes. At AOK, we believe everyone can play a part in supporting foster families.
