Foster care provides temporary, safe, and supportive homes for children who cannot remain with their biological families due to abuse, neglect, or other challenging circumstances. These children, ranging in age from infancy to 18, may have unique medical, emotional, or developmental needs. Many are part of sibling groups who would benefit from staying together in one home.
If you're unable to attend but would like more information about foster care or adoption programs, contact Audra Moeller at moellera@chqgov.com or call 716-661-8212. You can also visit www.fosterlovechq.com to learn more.
