May is National Foster Care Month!

A great time to honor and celebrate the over 1,500 foster and kinship caregivers in Vermont.

Our work would not be possible without their care and support. They make sure children are safe and well cared for while they can’t be at home. They also support the parents as they do the work necessary for their children to return home safely.

For that, we say THANK YOU! 

Please join us in celebrating Foster Care Month by thanking any foster parents or kinship caregivers you know.
