Keystone Family Alliance

Keystone Family Alliance is comprised of representatives from

different churches around the state of Pennsylvania. We aim to

educate, motivate, and equip every Christian in the state of

Pennsylvania of the needs of orphans and vulnerable children, both locally and globally. Everybody can do something to positively impact these children, and the Alliance wants to help you

find YOUR something. We bridge the gap between the desperate need of the child welfare system and PA churches. Agencies and caseworkers struggle to find new foster and adoptive families to meet the current overwhelming need. What is your something?
