Have you ever thought of becoming a foster parent? The need for foster homes has never been greater. You are invited to the “Foster Family Fair” to be held on Saturday, February 14, from noon to 2 p.m. in the Science Hall Commons at Canisius College.
The fair will give prospective new foster parents the opportunity to meet current foster parents and hear their stories, learn about the training required to become a foster parent and meet representatives from all the local agencies that place foster children.
You can get more information about this event at www.FosterFair.com. If you are unable to attend the event and want to learn more about foster parenting, you may contact Lu Firestone, associate campus minister, at firestol@canisius.edu or Jeff Lindauer, dean, school of education and human services, at lindauej@canisius.edu. Both the Firestone and Lindauer families are currently fostering children in their home.
