Note from the Director Orphan Care Alliance began in 2005 as a grassroots effort of a few families with a passion for the fatherless. The first efforts were financially supporting families with their adoption costs. By 2008, initial contact was made to state leaders to support children in the custody of the state. In 2010, life coaching for youth aging out and requests for support in southern Indiana had begun. We continue to grow in equipping families and connecting them to the needs of the fatherless. We hope and pray you’ll partner with us.

The fatherless... The Biblical term “fatherless” refers to children whose fathers had died. OCA’s mission aims to reach a broader group of children who are not living with their biological parents and interacting with them as a part of their daily lives. We reach out to serve these children in southern Indiana and Kentucky.
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
