The mission of Friends of Foster Children Forever(FFCF) is to focus on the children we serve with targeted educational and enrichment opportunities that allow each child to fulfill his or her potential. When children are removed from their homes due to abandonment, serious neglect or abuse, it is often with nothing more than the clothes they are wearing or meager belongings stuffed into garbage bags. Torn from their homes, it is not hard to imagine their confusion and fear as they are placed with strangers. FFCF recognizes that these children deserve to have their childhood kept intact and provides them with opportunities to become successful and strong adults. FFCF, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, focuses on filling in the gaps in the state system. FFCF's support ranges from tutoring or after-school programs to enrichment activities that nurture the child's talents and passions. We give these children a chance to become successful and strong adults. For many children the programs provided by FFCF will be their first chance to be truly cared for and loved.
