Epworth Foster Care
At Epworth, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to grow and learn in a safe, loving, and supportive home. Rooted in over 125 years of faith-based service, our foster care program offers more than placement, it provides a community of care for children and families across South Carolina.
We license compassionate individuals and couples to become foster parents and maintain regional offices throughout the state to ensure hands-on, local support. Our strong ties to Methodist congregations and community networks help us recruit nurturing families who are ready to make a lasting difference.
Become a Foster Parent
Ready to become a foster parent? We’re here to guide you every step of the way. From initial inquiries through licensing and placement, our dedicated Foster Care team provides personalized support to help you navigate the journey.
Each foster family is paired with a skilled Epworth Clinical Care Coordinator who offers direct services, coaching, and serves as a liaison with DSS. Our evidence-based training, 24/7 access to support, and a wide array of resources, including foster parent support groups, resource closets, and Epworth’s Centers for Counseling, ensure you have everything you need to thrive as a foster parent.
