Miracle Miles for Kids is a fundraiser created by the Family Care Network to provide private funding to further support those most in need living in our community. By partnering with us for Miracle Miles for Kids through the generous act of collecting pledges, you are providing foster and high-needs children and families a link to their community; you are communicating to them that their needs are important. You may not be able to personally assist those in need, but through pledging for Miracle Miles for Kids, you have the unique opportunity to be a part of the miracle!

Basic program funding sources are often very limited in scope and do not allow the Family Care Network to fully meet the varying needs of the children, youth and families we serve. Thus, the organization is committed to developing community-based resources to further fulfill our mission.



The Family Care Network is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, private children and families services provider located on the Central Coast. Established in 1987 to provide family-based treatment services, the agency’s programs have grown to serve over 1,300 foster and high-needs children, youth and families annually in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties. On February 1, 2006, the agency was formally accredited through the California Alliance of Child and Family Services, being recognized for having met the highest industry standards of excellence as a foster family agency, family-based services provider and mental health services provider. The Family Care Network is the first agency of its kind to earn this high level of accreditation on the Central Coast.


 
Rebecca's Story
Please join me in the fundraising effort for this organization.

I have a good friend at church who takes in teenage foster kids through the Family Care Network. Her current foster child is named Lucy. She is almost 17. I have had the opportunity to get to know Lucy on a winter trip to Yosemite. Lucy attacked her first attempt at ice skating with a vengeance. She is a very
determined young lady. She kept picking herself up and pushing forward. We hiked 4 miles in snow shoes the next day (see picture). She has a great sense of humor as indicated by her commentary during a couple of movies I have watched with her. She laughs readily. I don't know her full story, but I am so impressed by her resilience. I want to do this race for Lucy and the other foster kids I have met who can overcome adversity and experience love and stability because of the work of the Family Care Network.
