May—Foster Care Month

Foster Care Month originated in 1988 through the efforts of the National Foster Parent Association. The main focus of the early efforts was appreciation and recognition of the tremendous contributions of foster parents nationwide.

Today, Foster Care Month is a partnership of 14 national organizations working to raise awareness and remind us of the hundreds of thousands of children in our country who need loving families and safe homes.

We invite you to contact child advocacy organizations to learn how you can help. Whether you donate or volunteer, you are helping to make a difference in a child’s life. Visit the National Foster Care Month website to learn how you can get involved.
