Christmas Volunteers Needed
We are gearing up for a great year of giving to fulfill a great need for Christmas gifts.
The number of children in foster care in Oklahoma has continued to climb. The estimates are that there are currently more than 9,200 children in Oklahoma's protective custody of foster care. That is a significant jump since January's snap shot of 8,308 and a sobering leap from January 2011's snapshot of 8046.
With that said, we are looking for representatives in each of the 77 counties of Oklahoma who will work with their OKDHS counter part and community partners to help facilitate the collection and distribution of Christmas gifts.
The coordinator will work with their OKDHS county director and the OKFW State Coordinator on the OKFW Christmas Drive.
