Children in Crisis is a non-profit organization that works to provide homes and care for the abused, neglected, and abandoned children in our local community. 

  • Since opening the Susanna Wesley Emergency Shelter and the first family foster home (Blessings House) in 2008, CIC has given a home and care to over 1,000 foster children.  

Right now, Children in Crisis is in need of foster parents to live in the homes and care for the children at The Children’s Neighborhood.

The non-profit will license and train foster parents and provide an array of support including:

  • A large home.
  • Guidance.
  • On-site educational assistance.
  • Vehicles for transporting children.
  • Access to “Kay’s Cupboard” food and clothing pantry.
  • A monthly stipend to supplement family income.

“Our foster parents experience the rewards that come with knowing they have made a difference in the lives of these children,” said Danna Franks, Vice President of Operations at Children in Crisis. “These are children who need a parent to restore their hope, facilitate healing of their wounded hearts, and assist in their development into resilient, happy, capable young people.”

For more info on getting involved as a foster parent, please contact the Director of Operations, Sarah Traver, at 850-864-4242 or sarahtraver@childrenincrisisfl.org .

“Doesn’t it still end up with 4 lanes on either end after bridges? Seems more aesthetic than a traffic plan. Which is nice too but does it increase the function?”
