Paint The Town Yellow for Foster Care Awareness Month
This May
This Foster Care Awareness Month
This year an estimated 7,000 youth in Oregon will spend time in foster care.
Kids impacted by the child welfare system have often experienced trauma, abuse or neglect in their families of origin.
This May, we invite you to join us. Let’s Paint The Town Yellow to support youth impacted by foster care.
