Edmond, Okla. (May 2, 2024) – May is National Foster Care Awareness month. For many, it’s a time to recognize and remember the thousands of children in state custody. Anna’s House Foundation, a faith based organization whose mission is to provide immediate, stable, and loving homes for Oklahoma’s children in state custody, is encouraging Oklahomans to get involved and give back this month.
“There are many ways to support our children in state custody.” says Katherine Craig, Executive Director of Anna’s House Foundation. “I get asked this question a lot. What can I do? Of course, the most talked about way to support foster children is to become a foster parent, but that’s not the only way. You can volunteer, support financially, or become a respite caregiver. Those are just some of the ways you can get involved.”
In honor of Foster Care Awareness month Anna’s House Foundation is celebrating with ways to give Back.
