Prevention:
We have partnered with Safe Families to help prevent children from entering the foster care system by creating circles of support that will come alongside a family in crisis to help them recover from their current circumstances.

ADOPTION:
The Heart Project is more than just a matching agency, it’s a movement to make adoption accessible to all, breaking down the barriers that often stand in the way of building a family.
At Wednesday’s Child, we believe every child deserves a safe and loving home. Our Recruitment pillar focuses on finding compassionate individuals and families ready to open their hearts to children in need. Through education, support, and community outreach, we connect prospective foster and adoptive parents with the resources needed to provide stability and care. Join us in making a lasting impact—because every child deserves a family.
Ephesians 1:5 - In love, He predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ.

AGED OUT FOSTER YOUTH:
In 2025, 42 youths aged out of foster care! Frequently these children have gaps in the skills they would have received in a consistent and stable home. We have partnered with Jem Friends who provide these youths with a place to live, help them finish school, buy a car, and provide them with life skills. Volunteers can mentor a youth in the program, provide life skills classes, or assist in events to create awareness.

CIRCLE OF SUPPORT:
As our members become foster or adoptive parents, we would like to assign families or community groups to be a circle of support around them to love, pray, encourage, and be a help in need as these families navigate bringing new children into their homes.
