OUR VISION IS TO LEAD THE EFFORTS OF CARING FOR VULNERABLE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN CRISIS IN KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA . YOU CAN’T CHANGE THE WORLD ALONE, BUT IN 2015, YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD OF ONE CHILD.
2014 was a year of new beginnings for Orphan Care Alliance. !! Orphan Care Alliance experienced a year of new beginnings in 2014. Some extremely passionate and dedicated people joined our staff, we connected with churches and organizations, beginning what we hope are long lasting relationships. In addition, we have the beginnings of three regional hubs thanks to the commitment of three leadership families.
Our 5-year plan is for Orphan Care Alliance to expand throughout Kentucky and southern Indiana as we identify potential future hubs aligned to the state regions of the foster care system. We believe that our growing network of churches will allow this to happen and will help to identify the specific needs for those regions. We will always do our best to serve with excellence, honesty, flexibility, and transparency at the forefront of everything we do.
