misc_kidsreading Project Sweet Dreams: Summer Pajama Donation Box for MC Foster & Adoptive Children Remind Me about this Event   Tell a Friend
    Contact: Phyllis DiNardi   800 222 0047   
   

Please help the Monmouth County Foster & Adoptive Services prepare summer care packages for children in this program by donating summer-weight pajamas for children (sizes 4 through adult).   There will be a F&A donation box in Library Headquarters, Manalapan until June 28.
For more specific information, please contact F&A's coordinator Phyllis DiNardi at (800) 222-0047.

From The Foster & Adoptive Family Services website:  The heart of our mission is to provide support, training and advocacy to meet the special needs of foster, adoptive and kinship families, who provide safe, stable and nurturing homes for children in foster care.

Children are placed in care because they are abused or neglected by their parents and it is unsafe for them to remain at home. With the help of caring people like you, FAFS helps bridge the gap between what the government can provide and what foster children actually need.

They say that the cure for Love will make me happy and safe forever. And I’ve always believed them. Until now. Now everything has changed. Now, I’d rather be infected with love for the tiniest sliver of a second than live a hundred years smothered by a lie.
