Better Together helps parents who are going through a hard time to keep their kids out of foster care, find work and address the root causes of their struggle so that they can reunite as a family with the tools and support system to thrive. With the help of donors and hundreds of volunteers and church communities, Better Together builds lasting support systems that help families cope with hardships – such as job loss, substance abuse, homelessness and incarceration – and ensures that children are cared for in a safe home until the family can be reunited.

Better Together continues to expand its programs across the state and is hiring additional team members to join its efforts to help more families stay together and thrive.
