Information session for potential foster parents to be held next week
If you've ever thought about becoming a foster parent, Family and Children's Services Niagara is holding an information session next week.
The free event will take place September 20th at 5:30 at Johnny Rocco's Italian Grill in St. Catharines.
The group says there is an ongoing need for new foster homes in the area.
The event will include a presentation, as well as a chance to meet with current foster parents and ask questions.
The presentation will include details about the application process, eligibility requirements and how the agency supports foster parents.
“With Niagara being such a diverse community, each of our foster parents are so unique,” says Michelle Bernard, Director of Child Welfare. “Our foster parents are couples or single people of all ages, and those of various cultures, orientations, and identities. Children and youth needing a loving home on a temporary basis are just as unique, so we encourage anyone who is interested in fostering to join us for our information night to learn about this rewarding experience.”
While registration is not required, anyone who does register will get a free gift.
