The Month of May is nationally recognized as Foster Parent Appreciation Month. Annually, we set aside a day each year to recognize and celebrate our 45 Lake County foster families with dinner, gifts and awards; however, this year we were unable to gather as a group due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Despite this, Lake County Department of Job and Family Services would like to recognize and send our gratitude and thanks to our families who care for children who have suffered abuse and neglect and help guide them through these difficult times. Of special note, Lake County Department of Job and Family Services would like to recognize and congratulate Paul and Peggy Algier as our Foster Parent of Year for 2019. Their work with children and birth families alike was noticed by agency staff, other foster parents and community service providers. Please LIKE this post to show the Algier family as well as all foster parents your support for all that they do to help children.

Child and Adult Protective Services employees are essential workers, as are all of our staff who are employed at our Caley Receiving Home. These staff members are either in the community or surrounded by the children placed at the Caley Home. While we are all doing our best to practice the recommended social distancing, we realize that this can be difficult when trying to protect vulnerable children and the elderly. Due to the shortage of face masks available, we are reaching out to the community for homemade, washable masks for our staff. For those of you who have sewing abilities, we would be extremely grateful if our agency could be on the receiving end of donated, washable masks. There are patterns available on-line. Donation drop off can be coordinated by contacting the Caley Receiving Home at (440) 350-4450. Thank you for your support and stay well ❤️
