May is National Foster Care Month, and the South Shore YMCA is working with The Home for Little Wanderers to connect at-risk children with safe and loving families and homes through foster care.
The Home for Little Wanderers is always seeking new individuals or families to become foster or adoptive parents.
On May 6 at our Emilson YMCA branch in Hanover, and on May 24 at our Quincy YMCA branch, representatives from The Home for Little Wanderers will be on hand to provide information on what it takes to become a dedicated foster parent who steps up to make a difference in a child’s life.
Foster Care Information Sessions at South Shore Y
Representatives from The Home for Little Wanderers will be in our Emilson Y and Quincy Y lobbies to answer questions and provide information. For more information, contact Caryn Lister at clister@thehome.org
