WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — As students head back to the classroom, communities across Florida are helping foster children start the school year with confidence.
Special back-to-school events are providing foster families with school supplies, resources and a chance to connect with others who understand the unique challenges of caring for children in foster care.
“It helps us out tremendously because we’re always super busy,” said foster parent Latisha Williams. The events bring together foster parents, child advocates and community partners to make sure children have the essentials they need for a successful school year. Families can pick up backpacks, school supplies and other items often found on classroom supply lists. Click here to read more of the story.
