Staggering statistics
As you tune into the Super Bowl today, here are some truths you may not know...
Right now, 328,947 kids are in foster care, according to the most updated AFCARS report.
That is enough to fill the five largest NFL stadiums.
And around every 96 seconds, roughly the length of a commercial break, another child enters care. That makes around 150 kids during the game.
You might be thinking, What can I do about this?
The truth is, you don’t have to foster to make a difference (although these kids do need safe, supportive homes).
Even engaging with our content (following, liking, commenting, sharing...) helps spread awareness.
Additionally, we have many other resources on our website to help you be involved at any level!
