Foster children benefit from generous supporters
The Division of Child and Family Services would like to recognize the various individuals and businesses that contributed to our 2017 Angel Tree Project for local children in foster care. This project is extremely important because it provides support to foster families during the holidays to make foster children’s Christmas dreams come true. Because of the effort and support of the following individuals, businesses and agencies, our children in foster care were able to experience the joy and happiness that every child should feel on Christmas morning. A sincere debt of gratitude is owed to the following:
