In Maryland, there are 3,605 children in foster care—including 1,154 children between the ages of 6–12.

Behind these numbers are real stories.
9% of children in care are in group homes, highlighting the complexities in each community.

Through 2 For The Children chapters, 38 children were served in 2025—reaching about 3% of children ages 6–12 in care.

But the opportunity is even greater.

There are 3,355 churches in Maryland.
If each one stepped in to serve just one child, nearly three times the need could be met.

Because the need is great—but so is the potential.

Every number represents a child who deserves to feel safe, valued, and loved.
And every moment of connection has the power to change a life.

Because moments matter. Because children matter.
