The Alliance Prevention Network is a ministry of South Texas Alliance for Orphans. APN connects churches and organizations who assist families to avoid introducing children to the foster care system. Case managers vet needs and communicate those with local churches so that trained church response teams can deliver needed items and build relationships with family. This is an incredible ministry that helps keep families intact, and we are happily connecting volunteers who wish to serve. Please contact Carrie Apodaca at carrie.apodaca@nebc.ch to learn more.
