Families Helping Families of Iowa

Our Mission

At Families Helping Families (FHF), our mission is to support children in foster care and the caregivers who selflessly open their hearts and homes to them. We are dedicated to creating an environment where these children can thrive while providing essential resources and unwavering support for their caregivers on this important journey.

FHF’s comprehensive approach is reflected in our nine programs, which cover a wide range of needs in three categories: essentials, education, and celebrations. Our home base is Cedar Rapids, Iowa, but our support for foster children and families reaches all 99 counties in Iowa.

We know that caring for a foster child is a selfless and rewarding thing to do, but the transitions can be difficult on both children and caregivers. That is why we are dedicated to helping improve the lives of foster children and easing the burden of the families who care for them. With the help of our generous donors and volunteers, we have helped thousands of children in foster care and relative placement receive the resources and support they need to thrive in their unique situation.

Families don’t have to match, and we are here to support yours in every way that we can.
