The CALL in Saline & Perry Counties celebrated 10 years of serving in our community with a 'Family Reunion' for families who have fostered or adopted fr
om foster care, volunteers, and supporters. We enjoyed a meal of fried chicken or crawfish boil (from Riverside Grocery), green beans donated by Gina's Catering, desserts from our local churches, soft drinks from Coca Cola, and water bottles from Big Red Stores.
Sack races, inflatables from Midtowne Church, face painting, baggo and other activities provided entertainment while parents visited & enjoyed a pleasant evening!
The CALL is thankful for the response to the foster care crisis in our community with:
- 632 Families attending Information Meetings to learn about foster care
- 272 Families completing the required training to foster or adopt
- 195 Families opening their homes to children in foster care
- 141 Children adopted into their forever families
- Hundreds of children fostered by families recruited by The CALL
THANK YOU to our sponsors who made the event possible:
