The children and families we serve in Midland have a face, and they have a name. That's what makes Buckner unique - you will learn their names and their stories. You'll be able to pray for them and walk alongside them as they find God's calling for their lives.
You will meet people like Monica, a single mother of three who has suffered unthinkable abuse and was homeless for six months. She is now in school to earn a degree and make a better life for her children. Or you'll meet children like Max and Emma, siblings who have been in foster care for six years and are desperately praying for a forever family to love them.
When you volunteer with Buckner in Midland, people like Monica, Max and Emma will leave an indelible mark on your soul.
In Midland, we offer:
Foster care and adoption
Buckner provides the training and resources needed to become a family to a child for a season through foster care or a forever family through domestic foster care or adoption. Children in these programs are most often referred through the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services due to experiencing abuse, neglect or abandonment. We also respond to mothers experiencing an unplanned pregnancy with counseling and support. Call 432-520-5588 for more information.
Buckner Family Pathways®
We provide single-parent families the opportunity to live in a safe, secure environment while completing their educational or vocational goals and learning the skills they need to be self-sufficient. Families are provided support through access to affordable housing, financial assistance, counseling, spiritual growth and case management services. Contact us at 432-520-5588 to find out more.
Buckner Family Hope Center®
The Family Hope Center model offers a child-centered, family-focused place where families can go to find hope, support and empowerment in Midland to reach their fullest God-given potential. The key to the success of the Family Hope Center is found in combining effective programs and passionate people to help families experiencing poverty, family issues and lack of services.
Our programs seek to engage through family assistance and community events; equip families through education, financial empowerment, child and youth development; and elevate families through one-on-one coaching, counseling and spiritual enrichment. To learn more about this ministry, call 432-310-0104.
Each person has the ability to shine hope into the lives of others. Visit Volunteer Central to see how you can shine hope into the lives of vulnerable children and families in Midland.
