Your gift helps create a safe place to land.
Many young adults leave foster care without the housing stability, family support, and steady guidance they deserve.
Help FARM127 serve young adults today.
Gifts to the 127 Initiative support the ongoing work of FARM127—housing support, mentorship, practical needs, partnerships, staff, and the everyday tools that make the ministry possible. Because needs change from week to week, these gifts allow us to respond where they're needed most while continuing to build safe, steady relationships with young adults.
Give monthly · The 127 Initiative
Young adults aging out of foster care grow through consistent relationships, not one-time moments. Monthly giving helps provide the stability that keeps housing support, mentorship, practical care, and everyday ministry available throughout the year.
Give one time
Whether you're giving for the first time or making an additional gift, your generosity helps FARM127 respond to the changing needs of young adults aging out of foster care and continue the work happening today.

According to MIT's Living Wage Calculator, a single adult in Mecklenburg County needs to earn about $53,092 per year before taxes—roughly $4,424 per month, $1,021 per week, or $25.53 per hour—to cover basic living expenses without relying on outside assistance.¹
For many young adults aging out of foster care, reaching that level of stability doesn't happen overnight. Without the support of family, even everyday expenses can become overwhelming. FARM127 helps bridge that gap through housing support, mentorship, practical guidance, and Christ-centered community.
