The Bair Foundation

Since 1967, The Bair Foundation has been committed to developing strong children, strong families and strong communities. We are a Christ-centered agency dedicated to treating the mind, body and spirit of those we serve.

Children who enter the foster care system are far less likely to graduate from high school or attend college.

Working with us, you can provide the stability, permanency and direction foster children are desperately yearning for.
