hey, friend —

Every kid deserves a place to belong.

City Without Orphans exists to surround foster, adopted, and transitional youth with the resources, care, and community of our city.

“We envision a city where churches, businesses, government, and families come together so that every vulnerable child, and every family caring for one, has the support they need to thrive.”

Who We Are
