Taking Care of Foster Care Social Workers

Foster care social work can be a stressful career due to the many tasks and services involving caring for children who have urgent and complex needs, working cooperatively with foster families and kinship caregivers, court and paperwork responsibilities, as well as helping advocate in order to help a family find services and reunify.

We are delighted that our donors and volunteers value helping us say THANK YOU to deserving social services caseworkers each summer with a wonderful luncheon in their honor!

This summer we catered a lunch in Anderson, Oconee and Pickens DSS offices to share our community's gratefulness for what they do each day for children and their families. It was so great to meet many new faces and connect with people we only often email and talk with on the phone.

We love our volunteers! They show up at so many of our events to organize and serve food.
