PROGRAM
Angels Foster Care
Julianne Moreno (Rotary member) from Angels Foster Care was our program presenter this morning. She spoke about her organization and how they help develop quality temporary living situations for the many children in our county that are in need. Their motto is " Give a family to a child, not a child to a family". They deal with children from birth to age three and sibling sets up to age five. To do this properly, they recruit, train and support foster families so that a high percentage success rate can be obtained. A check for $500 was presented to the non profit organization after the presentation. If you feel that you can help by volunteering or donating to the cause, please contact julianne@angelsfostercare.org for more details
