Note from me: I have already called our local dss office and asked if we (our community group from church) could help in this area and they were VERY excited. This was great timing for us and for them.
Call your local office and ask how you can help the foster kids in your area. I dare you. :)

Call your local office and ask how you can help the foster kids in your area. I dare you. :)
"A caseworker called to say thank you for the journey bags we delivered. She described one story of a child that came into care with a sibling from a horrible situation that involved a death of a parent. Caseworkers tried to keep the two brothers together, but could not, which was very difficult for the boys. The caseworker said that when she gave them a journey bag, their eyes lit up. She expressed how excited they were to have their own bag and the joy it brought the kids really touched the caseworker as well.
I couldn't help but tell this caseworker about the 500 bags we received from a church that put each of these bags together. I told her that while we're glad the bags are appreciated, needed and useful, God cares about this child and took care of the details. His hand was upon this situation and He knew just what this child needed!"

to
the

community.
