Every two minutes a child is removed from their home and placed in foster care. There are many children in need of a temporary, safe, and caring place to live. St. Vincent Family Services (SVFS) will answer questions and share information on fostering children in need, foster parent training, and support services SVFS offers to its community of foster families at an information session on Sunday, Feb. 26 at 3 p.m. and Wild Goose Creative, 188 Mcdowell St.
Theresa Van Dootingh, foster care program director; Sara Russell, marketing and communications director, SVFS, and Larry Jackson, current SVFS foster parent, will host this informal session. For more information, call (614) 252-0731 or visit www.svfsohio.org.
