SUMMARY:Foster Hope Information Session
DESCRIPTION:Register for an information session to learn more about becoming a foster caregiver and to help you decide if fostering is right for you.\n\nFostering can be an incredibly rewarding experience. It can also be very challenging and frustrating at times\, and it is important to take the time to consider if it is right for you and your family at this time. \nPeople choose to become foster parents for many reasons\, but all share a love for children and the desire to help those in need without an expectation of receiving something in return. \nRegister here for June 17\, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm: https: https://bit.ly/4rJkUEy
