Are you curious, or do you know someone curious about foster care? Looking for meaningful ways to support kids in our community? Join the Explore Fostering Social for an evening of connection, conversation, and learning. This welcoming event invites you to share dinner with current foster parents, ask questions, and explore how you can get involved—whether through fostering, volunteering, or providing respite care. Every Child is partnering with Strengthening Rural Families and Oregon Department of Human Services to bring these fostering resources to our community.

Date: Thursday, May 28th at 5:30 PM
Location: Clemens Primary School Library, Philomath

Dinner will be provided, and there will be free childcare available for kids under 10. Come meet current foster parents and discover how you can make a difference in fostering. RSVP using the QR code on the flyer.
