CompaCare helps churches minister to vulnerable children and families in their local communities. Although CompaCare was built for the foster and adoptive families, it can be leveraged to serve virtually any vulnerable need.
CompaCare mobilizes the church to improve the capacity, stability and quality of foster families and other social needs.

Three published CompaCare manuals equip and mobilize the church in the effective philosophy, practice and plan.
