AFA is seeking to find churches that would be willing to adopt a hurricane victim family for the next three to six months. If your church would be willing to adopt a family, please fill out the form and email it back to us. We in turn will contact a family needing shelter and have them get in contact with you directly. You can interview them to see if their needs and your facilities are compatible and to secure references such as their previous local church and pastor. We suggest that you screen the family carefully. While 99% of these people will be very appreciative, there is always that 1% who can create problems.
It is not necessary that these families be put into individual homes (although the local church may do that if desired). Churches with family life centers which have shower and food preparation facilities can be used in this effort.
These people need a place to stay for the next three to six months until they can get back on their feet. AFA's role is simply to put the local church and needy family into contact with each other. After that is accomplished, AFA steps out of the picture.
If your church can adopt a family, please fill out the form below.
Churches or organizations only, please. No individuals.
