During National Foster Care Month each May, we recognize the role of foster care in providing children with safe, caring, temporary homes. This year, we are hosting a Community Special Event at Herndon Fortnightly Library on Tuesday, May 5, and a Foster Parent Info meeting on Tuesday May 12. Join us, invite someone, or download and share social media messages and graphics from our website to spread the word about ways to help children in care.

April 29-May 5 is the National Week of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives. Join us in saying enough is enough--no more stolen sisters, no more stolen relatives. We stand with our Native American sisters this week, starting by wearing red on Tuesday, May 5, National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives, to honor our stolen relatives and to carry their stories forward. Indigenous women deserve safety, dignity, and justice every day.
