Caring for Children. Supporting Families. Building Community.
Ark Foster Care is a ministry of The Ark of Highland Lakes- a network of churches and volunteers caring for children, supporting families, and building community. <br><br>We believe every child deserves a safe, loving home and every foster, adoptive, and kinship family deserves a strong circle of support. Together, we’re uniting the Church to bring hope and healing to the Highland Lakes.
