What are Care Communities?

Utah’s Care Communities program surrounds foster families with community support through Care Teams made up of 8-10 individuals. This consistent connection improves outcomes for children in care and empowers foster families to continue fostering. Together, we can share the burdens and joys of providing better outcomes for Utah’s vulnerable children.

Why your organization should get involved with Utah Foster Care

Businesses and faith congregations across Utah are seeing how the Care Communities program strengthens organizational culture through meaningful service.

We’d love to partner with you to create lasting positive impact by supporting vulnerable children and foster families. Consider:

Join a Care Team (traditional or Stand-Up pilot): Create a team (8-10 people, 2 leaders) supporting foster families through transitions with meals, chores, and errands. You choose the frequency and number of families.

Offer special projects or discounts: Provide free passes, home improvements, or yard makeovers. You choose the project and budget.

Volunteer to provide childcare at events, distribute donations, assemble Connection Kits, or host families at your office. Create a unique volunteer event!

The more healthy relationships a child has, the more likely he will be to recover from trauma and thrive. Relationships are the agents of change and the most powerful therapy is human love.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
