About Christian Family Care Agency
Christian Family Care is a community resource serving Tucsonans in need and families across Arizona. The organization works with at-risk youth, parents, caregivers, and individuals through adoption permanency, foster care, counseling, pregnancy support, early education, family assistance, and young adult services. Its stated vision is a future in which every child is loved and nurtured in a Christ-centered family. Christian Family Care has served Arizona families since 1982 and maintains a Tucson location as part of its statewide work.
The agency describes its work through three connected areas: prevent, prepare, and restore. Prevention focuses on helping families find stability and manage disruptions before they become crises. Preparation equips individuals, families, and caregivers with knowledge, tools, and resources to build resilience. Restoration addresses the effects of crisis or separation by helping heal and rebuild families, while also providing permanency for children who need safe, lasting homes. The organization says everything it does is built on a biblical foundation.
Adoption and foster care are central parts of Christian Family Care's services. Infant adoption and youth adoption permanency programs support the process of finding permanent families for vulnerable children, while resources and information sessions help prospective and current adoptive families understand what is involved. Foster care services include therapeutic foster care, information sessions, and resources for foster families. The agency notes that children enter Arizona's foster care system when their homes are considered unsafe, and that children may be waiting for reunification or adoption. It also reports that it has helped children find stability in loving families for more than 40 years.
Christian Family Care's community programs extend beyond adoption and foster care. Arizona Family Counseling offers support for children, adults, couples, and families through in-person and telehealth appointments, including faith-based options. Hand in Hand Pregnancy Counseling connects women experiencing unplanned pregnancies with pregnancy advocates, services, and resources. Family Care Learning provides online parenting courses that can be completed from home, with many classes qualifying for foster care and adoption continuing education units. Family and Community Services include respite care, family coaching, and mentoring, while Young Adult Services supports people who have aged out of foster care with employment coaching, educational assistance, and social-emotional support. The organization also operates a thrift store offering clothing, furniture, and household necessities at discounted prices. Its Family Care KIDS Preschool provides childcare, child development, and early education in Phoenix.
Community participation is another part of the agency's model. Christian Family Care invites individuals to serve as mentors for children in foster care, where a reliable adult presence can be especially meaningful for youth who have experienced trauma. Churches, businesses, and other organizations can explore community partnerships, and volunteers support several of the agency's programs and ministries. People interested in the organization's work can begin by reviewing its adoption and foster care information sessions, learning about community programs, exploring volunteer opportunities, or contacting Christian Family Care through its website. Its reported 2025 impact included counseling for community members, service to preschool children and families, support for women experiencing unplanned pregnancies, children placed in foster care, children adopted by forever families, and children receiving guidance from mentors.
