Our Founders

Whitney Bunker

Executive Director /
Co-Founder
Whitney is a former social worker and a foster/adoptive mom who is passionate about foster care and adoption. While working with foster children and families, God began to plant a vision in her heart to see local churches mobilized to care for "temporary orphans" right here in the Central Vally. Together, with her husband Daniel, she founded City Without Orphans.
