Chambliss Center Hosts Foster Care Info Night June 6

  • Wednesday, May 25, 2016

As a follow-up to National Foster Care Month in May, Chambliss Center for Children will host a Foster Care Info Night on Monday, June 6 from 6:30-8 p.m.

With an estimated 750 to 800 children in the Tennessee Valley in state care at any given time, there is a critical need for quality, loving foster homes in this area. The public is invited to attend this free Foster Care Info Night to learn more about fostering a child who has been removed from their home. The event will feature a short film on a child’s experience in foster care and the value of a loving, safe foster home. There will be an opportunity to learn more about Chambliss Center for Children, the foster care system, requirements for fostering, and to hear from a current foster parent.

“Fostering children locally has a direct impact on the future of the Tennessee Valley,” says Kauri Tallant, Foster Home Recruiter/Trainer with Chambliss Center for Children’s Residential Program. “This info session is a great opportunity for anyone interested in fostering children, either now or in the future, to get more information, ask questions, and hear about the experiences of our current foster parents.”

The event will be held at Chambliss Center for Children, located at 315 Gillespie Road. Free, on-site parking is available. Kindly RSVP to 423-693-2580 by Thursday, June 2, so accurate preparations for refreshments may be made.
