Our Impact
Thompson Foster Care logo

Every 3 minutes, a child enters foster care in the US.

More than 25% of children in foster care do not reunite with their families or find a permanent home before aging out of the system.

Without help, over 50% of youth in foster care will face homelessness or incarceration in adulthood.
