SafeGuards Foster Care

May is National Foster Care Month. It is one of our favorite months of the year. It is a time to educate, advocate, and celebrate about all things Foster Care.

We aim to educate the public about the important role Foster Families play in the lives of children in the foster care system and the great need that exists for more families.

We advocate for what is in the best interest of the kiddos who are placed in our care.

We celebrate all of our AMAZING Foster Families who answered the call and without hesitation open their hearts, homes, and lives to children and families in need.

For more information about becoming a Foster Parent, please contact our Foster Family Recruiter at 610-655-5555!
