 | On January 24 we visited Foster The Village and learned a lot about the important work it does to serve over 1200 area foster kids every year. We were given a tour by founder and Executive Director Cheri Salmon. FTV recently moved to a former Catholic grade school on the West Side. The hallways and classrooms are now brimming with clothes, shoes, boots, toys and gear for area foster families to draw from. Truly a remarkable organization that is meeting a critical need in our area. For more information, go to www.fosterthevillage.org or check them out on Facebook. | |
