May is National Foster Care Month!

Open Your Heart & Home 💙

Have you ever thought about becoming a foster parent?
Right now, children in our community need safe, loving homes — and YOU could make a life-changing difference.

✨ You can foster if you are:
• At least 18 years old
• Single or married
• Willing to complete criminal background checks & children services history checks
• Ready to complete 24 hours of training
• Able to complete a home study

⏳ The licensing process typically takes about 3–6 months.
You don’t have to be perfect. You just need compassion, patience, and a heart willing to help a child feel safe and loved.
Every child deserves stability, encouragement, and someone who believes in them. Maybe that someone is you. 💛
