“A Life-Changing Experience”
County To Host Its First Foster Parent Recruitment Day
Friday, May 8 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

For every challenge there is a reward - for every reward there is a challenge. Think you can help a child in need by providing love and guidance through the unique and lasting bonds formed as a Bucks County foster parent? Opportunity abounds to impact the life of a youngster.  Over 300 children live in foster care in Bucks County each year, and more local families are needed.

The county will host a county-wide Foster Parent Recruitment Day on Friday, May 8 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., in recognition of National Foster Care Month. Current foster parents, youth who were once in foster care and representatives from C&Y will be on hand to answer questions for those interested in finding out more.

Locations are as follows:

Bucks County Courthouse	Bucks County Government Services Centers
55 E. Court St., 2nd fl., Doylestown	7321 New Falls Rd. Levittown	261 California Rd. Quakertown

 

The Bucks County Children & Youth Social Services Agency provides foster care for children whose families are unable to care for them, and child protection services to children and their families.
