Clearfield #540 Presents $2,000 Check to Keystone Family Alliance

Clearfield Lodge presented a check for $2,000 to Keystone Family Alliance to help support foster families in Clearfield County.

KEYSTONE FAMILY ALLIANCE aims to support foster families through a variety of means. They aim to educate, motivate, and equip every Christian in the state of Pennsylvania on the needs of orphans and vulnerable children. The Alliance bridges the gap between the desperate need of the child welfare system and the community. Agencies and caseworkers struggle to find new foster and adoptive families to meet the current, overwhelming need. Keystone Family Alliance mobilizes Christians from around Pennsylvania. For some, it is registering to meet tangible needs of foster, adoptive, and biological families through our online portal, Gateway. For others, it is serving on an engineered Care Community to support a local family for a year. For churches, Keystone Family Alliance provides the framework and support to help churches successfully recruit families to care for children in their communities to become these much-needed placement homes.

Funds were provided through a Gratitude Grant from the Elks National Foundation. Shown are Susan Williams, ENF Co-Chair; Bobbi Johnson, Keystone Family Alliance area coordinator; and Les Mann, ENF Chairperson.
