In 2008, more than 290 children entered foster care in Black Hawk and surrounding counties. Just 95 foster families were available. The number of children entering the system in crisis continues to increase at an alarming rate.
However, right now… No homes open in Black Hawk county at this time.  Which means that that our local agencies have no home with which to place these children. 

Today, we’re here to change that.  This weekend Heartland Vineyard Church in Cedar Falls along with Five Black Hawk County agencies are getting together  for Impact…to focus on this need and give us the opportunity to make a difference in a child’s life….

The Impact One Child At A Time event taking place this weekend will be an opportunity to for us to find information on how we can mentor, foster or even adopt children in our community who need loving support.

For more information on Impact One Child At A Time call 319-266-HOPE or visit their website.

Our thanks to Angela Donaldson for joining us on the morning show.   Please pass this interview along to anyone you know who might be interested in helping us place foster children in good homes.

Brent, Angela Donaldson, & Julia
