About the Project
May is National Foster Care Month, a time we come together to celebrate and honor our resource parents. In Washington County, we have about 200 resource parents who care for about 300 children in foster care. This celebration is one of the most meaningful ways we show appreciation to the families who open their homes and hearts to children in care.
We typically have 100-120 folks (children and adults) who attend these gatherings. Our desire is to bring resource parent together for connection, activities, food, and prizes. We need your help with making this celebration happen for our resource parents and kids.
Activities we need help with:
Morning shift, 8am -12 pm. Unload supplies, help with event set up, decorations, help with registration, food, etc
Afternoon shift, 12pm - 4pm. Help at registration table, floating help during event, and event clean up after event.
