LFS Carolinas In Need Of Foster Parents
Thousands of children in North Carolina need safe and loving homes to survive and thrive.

For this reason, LFS Carolinas strives to keep their lives as unchanged as possible. Qualified parents will receive respite care, 24-hour support, training, monthly support groups, appreciation events and reimbursement. Information sessions will be held January 26th, 6 pm at Ascension Lutheran Church, 300 N. Lafayette St., Shelby.
