Upcoming Opportunities
Give Back to Those Who Give
Picture this: You're a young child, living at home with your mom and/or dad and there's a knock on the door. You have one hour to gather your things because you are going to live with another family. You meet and live with your new family, and become familiar with your new surroundings. After your parent(s) get the help they need, it's time to for you to go back home and assimilate to your previous life. This is just one example of what happens to a child in our Foster Care program.
We are looking for a volunteer group(s) to host a holiday party for our Foster Care families on Monday, December 21 from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. at Park Tavern Bowling Alley in St. Louis Park.
Hosting can include:
- A monetary donation to cover the costs of the event
- Gift donations to create gift bags for each child
- Raffle prize donations for the adults
- Interacting with children and families at the event
Make the Gala Happen
