We are so excited to share about an upcoming opportunity! On Friday, March 20, we are hosting An Open Door: An Invitation to Foster. This evening is the perfect time to learn more and ask questions about foster care. We will have representatives from local child placing agencies AND local foster parents. Come hear their stories, learn about the need, and find a safe place to ask your questions.
