Several people around me have been sharing about their involvement with Foster Care. I am so impressed and grateful for people who have the calling and capacity to open their homes to kids in need.
Here is an update on the First Annual iCare Foundation 5K Walk/Run For Foster Care:
1,500 people attended the iCare 5K Walk/Run
102 attendees signed up to become MENTORS to youth in foster care
35 attendees signed up to become FOSTER PARENTS
5 attendees signed up to ADOPT one or more children
Over 150 VOLUNTEERS donated their time to help
If interested, also check out the National Forum on Church and Foster Care which is coming up in Southern California Sept. 22-24.
Another way to serve kids in tough situations: volunteer with Big Brothers and Big Sisters or your local Boys and Girls Club.
