Recently, Jeff Clare, Sarah Snodgrass and I had the opportunity to attend a meeting held by our friends at Chapel Hill.  They assembled 25 people from several local churches to get an idea of what TYFC and other foster care agencies could offer to families in their churches who are interested in foster care and adoption.   I was overwhelmed by the excitement stirring in the hearts of Gig Harbor churches and families.

We had the opportunity to hear from an employee at DSHS who shared with the group what the needs of foster care are.  One of the main needs was backpacks for foster kids.  The churches in attendance pledged to sponsor 250 backpacks for school age foster kids.  The exact number DSHS was asking for!!!

On June 23rd Chapel Hill is sponsoring a foster care information session.  All local churches and families are invited to hear about foster care and the need our community has.  A number of private agencies and the state will be there to share about what is happening in their programs.  More information to come, please call Chapel Hill or TYFC with questions about the information night.
