Every child deserves the fullness of childhood.

Grace Filled Homes is a brand-new Missouri nonprofit founded on a simple conviction: every child is made in the image of God, and every child deserves the fullness of childhood. Our focus is foster children, and the families who open their homes to care for them.

The need is real, and it's close to home

In 2024, 1,209 children were in foster care across Greene and Christian counties, and 374 more entered care that year, more than one every day (Missouri Children's Division, FY2024). There are never enough homes ready to receive them.

What we're building

We're building on a model proven by Angels' Arms in St. Louis, bringing that same kind of care to foster families here in the Springfield area:

Stable homes, so foster families can say yes to the children who need them
Brothers and sisters kept together instead of separated across placements
Wraparound support (everyday essentials, encouragement, and community) so foster families don't carry it alone

Be one of the Founding 100

We're in our earliest days, and this campaign is how Grace Filled Homes gets off the ground. Your gift funds our launch and our first foster-family support grants: clothing, activities, and enrichment for children in care.

The first 100 gifts of $100 or more receive a Grace Filled Homes t-shirt, our thank-you for being one of the hundred families and friends who made this real from day one. Tell us your size at checkout, and we'll print and mail the shirts once the Founding 100 is underway. Expect yours this fall.

Grace Filled Homes is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity (EIN 41-4850423). Your gift is tax-deductible, and you'll receive a receipt automatically.
