There are children in your community who need you!
You can be the difference for a child in need by opening your home as a foster family. Foster families provide temporary, loving care to children who cannot live safely at home. Foster parents are needed for infants, toddlers, teens, children with special needs and sibling groups.
Our foster parents are married or single, have a lot of experience with children or while having no direct experience, are interested in working with children, represent the LGBTQ community, come from a variety of cultures and ethnicities, or may decide to foster with another family member. The foster parents of the Children’s Aid Society represent the diversity of our city. (more…)
For the past four years Homes For Kids has awarded a scholarship to a youth who plays an essential role in a fostering family. They are often the first people that a child coming into care connects with. They are friends, role models and mentors. Children who are members of a fostering family play a pivotal role in the well-being and development of children in care.
This year we are pleased to have awarded a $1,000 scholarship to Dana Giovannetti. In Dana’s scholarship application she wrote about being part of a foster family. Here is her story. (more…)
