FCP'S NEW PASADENA PROGRAM NEEDS VOLUNTEERS
Foster Care Project has started a new program with the Department of
Children and Family Services (DCFS) in Pasadena. The program is called
Family Connect Pasadena. It is a family visitation program that provides
trained Visitation Coaches to monitor court-ordered visits between
children/youth and their parents/caregivers in a family-friendly
environment in order to facilitate family reunification. Trained
volunteer family visitation coaches will be able to help parents and
children rebuild their relationship and reunite as a families.
Visitation coaches monitor the family visits but also help to parents
rebuild their frayed ties with their children so that they can
eventually be reunited as families.

DIAPERS AND CHILDRENS' CLOTHES NEEDED
If
you're bundling up your children's or grandchildren's clothing to give
away, consider donating these items to FCP's "adopted" caseworkers for
their incoming foster care charges. Many children arrive at foster care
with virtually no supplies. In addition to clothes, non-perishable food,
paper diapers (any size), and bedding in good condition are also welcome.
