May marks the return of National Foster Care Month, a time when people across the country focus their attention on the on-going needs of children and teens in foster care. There are nearly 10,000 children in Arizona who are living in out-of-home care because their own families are unable to care for them. National Foster Care Month seeks to address the magnitude and urgency of this important issue, and motivate the country to respond, whether that's by making a lasting impact on a young person's life by becoming a foster parent, becoming a mentor for a child in foster care, or by organizing a donation drive for an agency in your area.
This May we would like to recognize the thousands of dedicated foster families and other caring individuals and organizations who are already supporting these young people. For more information on how you can help make a difference in the lives of Arizona's children, visit our website (http://www.aafcaz.org/) or call 480.345.9555.
