WE NEED YOU!
Every week a child is denied a foster family because one isn't available. 
There are over 14,000 children in PA, currently in foster care.
  • Foster parents are people who choose to become substitute families for children in need.  
  • They are responsible for providing love, security, food, clothing and shelter needed for day to day survival.  
  • Foster parents teach children socially acceptable behavior and provide the structure, discipline, support and nurturing that is necessary to raise responsible children with self-confidence and integrity.  
  • Foster parents do these things knowing that a child may only be with them for a short time.

Foster parents are people who believe that children are worthy of their best efforts every day!
