Introducing our Friends in Fostering | National Foster Care Month

May is National Foster Care Month, and we are proud to partner with local organizations to give every child in foster care a home where they can grow and thrive. Here at Reliant, we believe every child deserves a home like this. Keep reading to learn more about our Friends in Fostering and ways you can help.

To learn more about the conditions of your local foster care community, a great place to start is at your local Division of Family and Children Services. From diapers to winter coats, DFCS is always in need of supplies for children entering foster care. During the holidays, they are always in need of individuals to “adopt” a child’s Christmas list.

Here at Reliant, not only do we work with our local DFCS office, but we work with private foster organizations that assist DFCS in their goal of a home for every child. Our partners, Uniting Hope 4 Children and Families 4 Families, facilitate their foster family services. These services include classes and support groups for their foster families to be encouraged and learn new ways to help their foster children. Like DFCS, these organizations are always in need of donations of supplies, especially during the holidays, and volunteers for foster family events. 

If you would like to learn more about these organizations' specifics needs or learn more about fostering a child, please visit our Friends in Fostering’s websites or reach out to your local fostering organizations.
