Provide Normalcy for Foster Kids Returning To School
Impact the lives of foster children during back-to-school festivities in Palm Beach County, FL! Autumn represents an exciting time of year for almost all kids. The start of a new school year means children get to see their teachers and friends again. However, for the nearly 700 kids who remain without a permanent home, the new school year can create anxiety and feelings of inadequacy.
