Donate or Volunteer to Support Foster Care in NE Oklahoma and NWA

Consider the Lilies is built on community. When people come together, families experience support, children experience stability, and hope becomes more than a word.

Donate to support foster families and biological families

There are several ways to get involved. You can donate financially to help meet tangible needs for families. You can donate items that support foster families and biological families. You can volunteer your time to serve families directly or to help behind the scenes. You can also partner as a church, business, or organization to sponsor needs and strengthen the support network across NE Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas.

Why donations and volunteers matter for families

Your support helps foster families continue saying yes to children in need. It helps biological families remove barriers and take steps toward stability and reunification. It helps prevent crisis by meeting needs before they escalate.
