Objective:
Help Children in Foster Care who are being relocated.
The Project in Common for 2008-2009
is “Making A Difference for
children in foster care.” The objective of the project is to help
children who are being placed in foster care through no fault of their
own. Member states developed a plan of action to accomplish this
objective tailored to their state.
“MAKING A DIFFERENCE” project to help children in Foster Care began
January 1, 2008. The following reports have been received as of January
1, 2009. Reports have been received from two counties in Illinois.
One county gave numerous items to a
Children’s Home. A letter of acknowledgement attached to the report
stated they support more than 1,000 children. The other county donated
over 650 items and they do not know how many children they have helped.
One county in Kentucky reported they
had collected items and filled 4 tote bags and 4 backpacks for 8
children. The items included 106 school supplies, 60 personal items and
11 toys.
One county in South Carolina in
their report estimated they had helped 40 children. They had 3 boxes
containing 40 packages. Included were 17 $5.00 gift certificates to
McDonalds. They collected $ 88.00 for school supplies and $ 70.00 for
foster care.
We are MAKING A DIFFERENCE in the
lives of children in foster care. |
