Be A Court Appointed Special Advocate: Advocate for a foster child's best interests inside and outside the courtroom. For more information, call 761-2956.
Be A Donor: The foster care system does its best to provide life necessities, but youth often lack birthday gifts, sports uniforms, and other items many children take for granted.
