National Foster Care Month
May is National Foster Care Awareness Month!
This month, we’re honored to highlight our local eXtension partner Restore Network who provides critical support to foster families in our community!
Children enter foster care through no fault of their own. Every child deserves a safe, loving home where they can heal and thrive. Our partnership with Restore Network helps make this possible.
These aren’t just numbers-they’re real children with real stories, waiting for someone to say “yes” to providing stability, safety, and love during a difficult season. Is God stirring your heart about foster care? You don’t have to have all the answers to take a first step. Our partners at Restore Network host “Foster & Adopt Workshop 101” – the perfect first step for anyone curious about fostering or adoption. Learn more and register for one of their upcoming virtual workshops.
