Project Rescue
Fostering Hope Today
Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. - Psalm 82:3–4
Project Rescue: Fostering Hope Today is a Family Life Ministry of The Woodlands UMC to raise awareness of foster care, adoption and the orphans of the world and move people into action to rescue children and bring about real change. Everyone can help and our mission is provide opportunities for volunteering; mentoring; making donations; praying; seeking God’s will to possibly become a foster family and/or adoption; and to provide support and care to current foster care case workers and families. Our goal is to inspire action; strengthen families and make a difference one child at a time.

For the older ones a backpack with underwear; socks; pajamas; a change of clothes; and age appropriate lovie/falshlight/toy; school supplies; toothbrush; and hairbrush. The bags are costing about $50 each. It takes ongoing commitment to purchase the bags and work to supply them with the needed 75 per month for the children.
