#KIDSGROWBESTINFAMILIES
Submitted on April 3, 2019

APRIL IS CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH

Currently 130 Wayne County Children are in our care and custody

To Raise awareness of our need for more locally licensed foster families, Wayne County Children Services has placed 130 blue painted rocks throughout the community.

Look for our blue rocks, take a selfie to post on social media using the hashtag #KidsGrowBestInFamilies to learn about our children waiting for their forever family and how you can become a licensed foster and adoptive parent.

Update:

WCCSB is proud to announce that our K-9 friend Freddie from the Orrville Police Department was the first to share his photo at #KidsGrowBestInFamilies (with dogs)!  We appreciate Freddie’s help to raise awareness for the need for new local foster families in Wayne County!!!  Thank you to Freddie & the Orrville Police Dept. for your service to our community!
