How You Can Help

 

Become a Foster or Adoptive Parent Every week we receive calls about children in need of a temporary home because their parents have been accused of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. These children are of different ages, ethnicities, and have a variety of needs…but they all need the safety and security of a caring home. Please call 888-200-8915 to learn more about how you can make a difference in the life of a child. Our 'Foster Parenting' page also contains valuable information about fostering.

If you're unable to foster or adopt, please consider making a donation

This is currently our biggest fundraiser. It includes a round of golf with cart, lunch, dinner, golfer goody bags, door prizes, raffles and silent auction. We also have guest speakers who will share their Ennis Center experiences. Typically held on the third Friday in June, we are always looking for golfers to join us and have received many compliments from attendees on how fun and well-organized this event is. Bring your friends and head out for a fun-filled day on the course for a good cause! Corporate sponsorships and advertising opportunities are also available.

Each summer we bring the children in all of our foster care programs and their foster families together for a day of outdoor fun and play. The day includes food, games, crafts, and prizes. This event gives children who have been through a great deal in their young lives, an opportunity to enjoy carefree, outdoor childhood activities. It also gives siblings who may be living in separate foster homes an extra opportunity to spend time together. Foster parents also benefit from the interaction with other foster parents. This event is attended by approximately 300 foster children, foster families, and staff. Expenses such as food, venue, bus transportation, craft and game items, prizes, and machine rental are not reimbursable by any of our government contracts.
