May is National Foster Care Month, a time to recognize the hard work and the heart of all those who make a difference in the lives of children in foster care. There are thousands of children and adolescents in the child welfare system than there are foster families.
There are several ways you can get involved.
Here’s the top 5 ways how you can make a difference…
-

- Help Spread the Word – Please help us recruit specialized foster parents. Talk to your friends, neighbors, church or community organizations and encourage them to get involved. Devereux specializes in treatment foster care. We are particularly in need of foster parents for our DELTA program - which serves survivors of sexual exploitation, our specialized therapeutic foster care program and our Family Care Program – which specializes in caring for individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities.

- Thank A Foster Parent - Many of those we serve are in need of a temporary, safe and nurturing home and our foster parents play an essential role in providing this level of care. Our foster parents are an integral part of our core mission. This month, please help us in recognizing our foster parents for everything they do to make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
