Caring for Vulnerable Children...
Everyone Can Do Something.

Host, Foster, Adopt

We support families as they pursue adoption, foster care, or temporarily hosting children with resources, funding, and support groups.

At-Risk Outreach

We care for at-risk children through mentoring, respite nights, and our annual Royal Family Kids Camp.

For Life Initiatives

We embrace single moms who are expecting or parenting as well as those healing from terminated pregnancies.

Stop The Trafficking

We raise awareness through our annual 5K and host a prayer network along with outreach events to end human trafficking.

What We Offer

Stay connected and get involved in caring for the vulnerable throughout the year through these upcoming opportunities: 

World's Largest Diaper Drive

Nearly 1 in 3 families struggle to provide clean, dry diapers for their children. OneLess is partnering with New Life Family Services (NLFS) to serve as a drop-off location for the World’s Largest Diaper Drive. All donations will support single moms and host/foster care families served through OneLess and NLFS. You can help!

Donate a box of diapers between May 11-18 (preferably sizes 3-6 and pull-ups). Donations can be dropped off at Grace Church in the designated bins near the entrances at Eden Prairie or Chaska.
