So many ways to help!

Posted on 03/07/12

There are so many ways to help the children of our communities!

  1. Become a foster parent
  2. Help by donating to the Foster Parent Association - http://www.facebook.com/fpaspokane - you can specify where the donation goes; for example you could pay for music lessons, sports equipment, and so on.
  3. Or directly to the Clothing Perk and Teen Closet to help children see people do care about them - they deserve new and like new clothing.
  4. you could also coordinate a clothing drive at your business or church
  5. The list goes on and on - not everyone can be a foster parent but everyone can help show a child that we care!
