Board of Commissioners Proclaims May as Foster Care Month
According to the Georgia Department of Human Resources, over 11,000 children are currently in foster care in the state of Georgia.
The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners proclaimed the month of May 2024 as Foster Care Month during a May 16 regular meeting.
Through the partnerships of individuals, public and private organizations, and the Forsyth County community, there is a collaborative effort to raise public awareness of the needs of children in both foster care and exiting foster care, and of the valuable contributions made by foster and kinship families.
The Board encourages residents to recognize this worthwhile cause and spread awareness on behalf of the many children in foster care this month.
