There’s a place for you in this story.
You do not have to become a foster parent to make a meaningful difference. Raleigh’s Place gives individuals, churches, businesses, and community groups practical ways to surround children and families navigating foster care with consistent support.
Foster care affects an entire community. Children need safe relationships. Families need practical support. Young adults need people willing to walk beside them as they build a life of their own.
Raleigh’s Place creates opportunities for people throughout Central Alabama to step into those needs in meaningful, practical ways.
Use your time and abilities to make a difference.
Volunteers help Raleigh’s Place extend care far beyond what our staff could accomplish alone. Some opportunities involve direct interaction with children and families, while others happen behind the scenes.
Whether you can serve once, occasionally, or on a regular basis, we would love to help you find a place that fits your interests and availability.

Turn everyday generosity into practical support.
Donated goods help Raleigh’s Place meet practical needs while also supporting the ongoing work of the ministry. Some donations directly assist foster, adoptive, and kinship families. Others support Katie’s Kloset, whose thrift-store revenue helps make ministry possible.
Because needs change throughout the year, contacting us before making a large donation is always helpful.
Help your church live out James 1:27.
