Who we are…

Fostering Fannin is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to bridge the gap between the critical needs of families and children within foster care and kinship care, and the resources available to them. With the generous support of donors and volunteers, we have been serving Fannin County since 2022.

Our mission is simple: Serve and support families and children within foster care and kinship care in Fannin County, Georgia.

MEETING NEEDS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY

Kinship Care

Kinship Care exists when relatives stand up to raise children when their parents cannot care for them. When a relative caregiver opens their heart and home, we want to help them with the resources and support they need to ensure children are not unnecessarily entering foster care.

Fostering Fannin is proud to partner with Fannin County Family Connection in supporting children in kinship care! FCFC Family Care Support group meets on the 2nd Thursday every month from 10:30-11:30am in the conference room at FCFC. For more information on FCFC visit their website fcfc1.org or call 706-632-6063.

Foster Care

Fostering Fannin strives to meet the needs of our local foster children and families that are not met by the state. Our goal is to give the fostering family as well as the child, all the resources and support needed to create an enlightening and life-changing experience for all. Opening your heart and home to foster or adopt can seem intimidating, but when you have a group like Fostering Fannin surrounding you, you are not alone!

Family Preservation

Fostering Fannin believes children do best when they can remain with their families. Family Preservation within DFCS refers to programs and services designed to help keep children safely in their homes, prevent unnecessary placements into foster care, and strengthen families. When possible, Fostering Fannin partners with DFCS to provide specific support and resources families need to improve overall functioning and achieve long-term stability.
