How Hearts and Mind began
Hearts and Mind Foster Community was founded from a simple but powerful belief: when caregivers are supported, children and families thrive.
We recognized that while foster parents and kinship caregivers dedicate themselves to providing safe, stable, and loving homes, they often do so while carrying immense emotional, physical, and practical responsibilities. Many experience isolation, exhaustion, and limited access to support.
Rather than asking caregivers to simply do more, we asked a different question: How can we better support the people who are caring for children?
That question became the foundation of Hearts and Mind Foster Community. Today, we bring caregivers together through practical relief, wellness initiatives, education, mentorship, community events, and meaningful partnerships that strengthen both caregivers and the communities around them.
Together, We Are Building a Community Where Caregivers Thrive.
Whether you are seeking support, looking to volunteer, interested in partnering with us, or simply want to learn more, we invite you to become part of the Hearts and Mind community.
