Celebrating Foster Care Month Going Above and Beyond Every Day!

When most professionals go home at the end of the day, foster parents are continuing to serve Rhode Island’s most vulnerable children. Our foster parents go above and beyond every day.

What can you do to help…

•Learn and share the truth about foster care. Children’s Friend offers information sessions for groups and/or individuals. Advocate for those affected and involved in child welfare.

•Do something special for someone you know who is a foster parent. Let them know that you appreciate them for making a difference in the lives of the children and families they’re helping.

•Tell a friend or loved one about foster care. You probably know someone who lights up when they’re around children, enjoys parenting, and has a big heart. Have them call Children’s Friend and we’ll answer their questions.

•Become a Foster Parent. Children’s Friend welcomes all types of families! Our foster parents come from all walks of life, from all types of professions. But, they one thing in common: they are committed to making a difference in one child’s life.
