Lakewood National Holiday 5K Donation

Thanks to generous donors, Better Families has been able to help thousands of children. How do we put your dollars to work? While our volunteer host families generously give their time and attention to children, your donations purchase food, clothing and the other necessities they will need while they are in our care.

With your financial support, our Better Families model can be replicated across the state. There are more families who need us, and thanks to our strong partnership with the state’s Department of Children and Families, we are working against a rising tide of child neglect statewide.

“Florida has the third-largest foster care system in the United States… If we can do it in Florida, we can do it anywhere,” says Better Together’s CEO, Megan Rose.
