Mission: Founded in 1920 by mccormick spice company's entrepreneur willoughby mccormick, baptist family & children's services, now building families for children (bfc), exists to provide a safe, nurturing family for every child and a supportive, thriving community for every family. Our mission is to serve god by providing professional and volunteer-driven family stability services and by building strong networks that support children's safety and physical, mental, social and spiritual growth.
Programs: Chosen (children of special and exceptional need) treatment foster care program serves abused and neglected children referred to our care by maryland's county level departments of social service. In a typical year we serve an average of 60 children, mostly teenagers, who need significant attention and special treatment techniques. Most of the children referred to chosen come into the program struggling to overcome the effects of abuse and neglect. Most have behavioral problems and learning deficiencies. Chosen trains treatment foster parents to help their foster children manage and ultimately overcome their challenges. Chosen staff are available to foster parents 24 hours a day to provide the support, expertise and manpower necessary to help the kids in our care.
