What is Walk Me Home
Walk Me Home....to the place I belong is the signature fund-raising and awareness event for foster care in America. We know not everyone can be a foster parent, but Walk Me Home is a great way to support the over 513,000 children in foster care.
NFPA Welcomes The Centene Charitable Foundation as a National Sponsor for Walk Me Home
“Centene Corporation is a leading healthcare management organization that provides programs and services to under-insured and uninsured individuals. As an extension of this effort, The Centene Foundation strives to support strategies that improve healthcare for low-income individuals and families. This is accomplished through an inspired philanthropic giving plan that seeks to improve the quality and access to healthcare in the communities we serve.”
Walk Me Home is a 5 K (3.1 mile) walk
that almost everyone can do.

Why Walk Me Home
Walk Me Home…to the place I belong has been created for a threefold purpose; generate awareness of foster care, recruit and retain foster families and to raise much needed funds to support the programs and services of the foster care associations nationwide. Several states are conducting multiple Walks and it is expected that over 100 Walks will be conducted from May through October.
Who Are We
The National Foster Parent Association and the Affiliates it represents supports the 513,000 children in foster care nationwide through a network of state, county and local associations and support groups that have responsibility for caring for the children who have had to be removed from their birth homes.
