May is National Foster Care Month!

May is National Foster Care Month, and Family Service of RI is looking for loving homes for foster children.  Can you help?

During May, Family Service of RI will be waging an extensive campaign to spread the word about the need for foster moms and foster dads to care for children who, for many reasons, cannot live with their families, sometimes on a short-term basis, sometimes permanently.  Family Service of RI will be on radio, television, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, you name it!!!

On Saturday, May 19, Family Service of RI invites anyone interested in foster parenting to stop by the Warwick Mall between noon and 4 p.m. Our Greg Wright will be there, in front of Gymboree, to answer questions. Just stop by!  Better yet, call Greg at 401-331-1350 ext. 3305 or email him at wrightgr@familyserviceri.org.

Greg will tell you about how the Family Service of RI foster care program offers a weekly stipend, a quarterly clothing allowance, 24/7 on-call support and more!

Watch this brief video featuring one of our foster moms, Liz.

Become a foster parent! A child will thank you!

Beautifying South Providence!

The Providence Children’s Initiative, a project of Family Service of RI, celebrated Earth Day weekend by holding a South Providence Community Clean-up Saturday, April 21  Many children and adults gathered at Fogarty Elementary on Oxford Street between 9 and 10 a.m., picking up tools and bags and then heading into the surrounding neighborhood to pick up debris.  At 1 p.m. there was a celebration that included Mayor Angel Taveras, who thanked all who helped out.

Check out a video of the event put together by a volunteer!
