APPRECIATION EVENT: Trumbull County Children Services will host its annual Foster Parent Appreciation Event at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at TCCS. This year's celebration will be a carnival-style event with family-friendly games, activities and entertainment. Additionally, food trucks from Curby's Custard, Mijavec's and the Little Red Food Truck will be on hand. As part of its ongoing search for additional foster caregivers, the theme this year is appropriately named, "Peace, Love, Foster Care."
All 61 Trumbull County licensed foster caregivers will be acknowledged for their dedication to caring for children who have been abused and neglected while their families receive services to create a safe and healthy home. The event also will honor foster caregivers for their years of service.
Guests for this special event include foster caregivers, their children, agency staff and board members and other public officials.
If interested in becoming a foster caregiver or adoptive parent, contact Megan Martin, senior supervisor of foster care and adoption, at 330-372-2010, Ext. 1223.
