We care about kids. 

FAST was established in 2009 as a nonprofit 501c3 organization to support foster and adoptive families caring for children in the state’s care. 

FAST has no paid staff. 100% of contributions are utilized to support FAST’s mission, events and the FAST pantry. All involved share their talents and volunteer their time. Most of the FAST board members are foster/adoptive parents so they can share their experiences and knowledge and provide direction and moral support.

FAST is a St. Charles County chapter of the MFCAA ‘Midwest Foster Care and Adoption Association.

July 7 - The FAST food pantry now has a fenced-in playground so the children can have a safe place to play while their parents visit the pantry. Don Collier and the core team of Ekklesia Church purchased and assembled the playground while temperatures reached 106°F. Fence & Deck Depot donated the fence materials. The fence was assembled through the collaborative effort of the Houska men, John Grissom, Steve Grote and firefighters, Oasis and other volunteers.
