Adoptive and foster kids and families need support to thrive. There are a lot of good people out there who want to help, but either don't know that these families need help or don't think they could really make much of a difference.
This is a no-obligation opportunity to come and learn about the realities of foster and adoptive families, what supports they get and what kind of help they need. We will explore small ways that normal folks can make a big impact in the lives of kids and families without having to sign up to be a full fledged foster parent etc. I be you never thought that book reading, game playing, ice cream dates, visits to the park or grabbing coffee could make a big impact, but THEY CAN!
Come find out what you could do.
The event is free and open to all, but an RSVP will help us plan accordingly for refreshments!
