In West Virginia, we can pursue a bold and achievable vision: More Than Enough for every child and family impacted by foster care. That means more than enough foster and kinship families, more than enough support for biological families, and more than enough wraparound care from churches and communities across our state. A vision like this cannot be achieved by individual efforts of organizations or people. It takes effective collaboration and common strategy to achieve such transformation.
But this kind of collaboration doesn’t begin with vision alone—it starts with trust. Because at the end of the day, organizations don’t collaborate, people do.
To help strengthen relationships and build that foundation of trust, we’re providing you with a simple but powerful tool: “Building Trust Together,” a resource created by the More Than Enough Initiative at the Christian Alliance for Orphans (CAFO).
This one-page guide outlines three key commitments that can help churches, agencies, and individuals work together with greater humility, clarity, and unity. Whether you’re launching a new partnership or deepening an existing one, it’s a resource that can help keep the focus on what matters most—our shared mission for West Virginia’s children. To quickly build trust with other members of your collaboration, you can present this document to new partners and collaborators – and use it to shape your commitment to one another.
Let’s keep building—not just programs, but relationships that last—so that More Than Enough becomes reality in every West Virginia community.
