It is not too late to make a difference during National Foster Care Awareness month!! Children in foster care still need your time, talent, and tenacity to endure this season in their lives. Below are a couple of share-outs:

The Arizona Department of Child Safety has released a video detailing a typical experience for a child in foster care.

#LoveUp has put out a video highlighting their work & some of the children who are still searching for stability.

If you want to make an impact for a child in foster care consider--

  • Becoming a licensed foster care parent or court appointed special advocate (CASA).
  • Volunteering with one of the many organizations that serve children in foster care.
  • Donating to a qualified foster care charitable organization to receive a tax credit.
