May is National Foster Care Month!
With May quickly approaching, we wanted to highlight National Foster Care Month by sharing with you all the need we have for foster parents in our community!
Did you know that there are 368,530 children in foster care nationally? There are 5039 children in foster care in the state of Virginia and 166 children in foster care in our locality.
Did you know that the most common goal for children in foster care is reunification with their families?
Help us by joining the supporting work of helping families. You can help be the change and help keep children connected with their families and their communities by becoming a foster parent today! We need more foster parents in our community so that children can continue to reside locally and maintain their natural connections. We want to see more children who enter foster care remain in their communities and placed in families. If you are interested in becoming a foster parent, please contact Cassie Bush at [email protected] or (540) 245-5836.
You can also support the children that are in foster care by supporting Foster Love Ministries or by making a monetary donation to the Foster Children’s Fund. Make checks payable to Shenandoah Valley Social Services, memo line Foster Children Fund, and mail to Shenandoah Valley Social Services, Foster Children Fund, P.O. Box 7, Verona, VA 24482.
