This month, we take a moment to honor and celebrate the heart and dedication of our incredible resource families—the heroes who open their hearts and homes to children in need.

Here in Linn County, our ODHS team wanted to do something special to show our appreciation. We’ve put together a heartfelt video featuring some of our local ODHS workers—please take a few moments to watch and feel the gratitude we all share for you. 💛

As a small gesture of thanks, we also delivered beautiful flower baskets to all of our amazing resource families this month. It’s a simple way to say:
🌼 We see you.
🌼 We appreciate you.
🌼 We are so grateful for everything you do.

To all our resource families: Thank you. You make an incredible difference in the lives of children and youth every single day. Your compassion, strength, and love are what foster care is all about.

💙 From all of us at Linn County ODHS—thank you for being the heart of foster care.

Exciting news! The Oregon Department of Human Services is bringing our foster care and resource family pages together to make it easier for you to find the information you need. And the best part? You don’t need to take any action! If you’re already following this account, you will automatically become a follower of the new account.

In the meantime, you may notice some aesthetic changes. Plus our account name will be changing to Foster.Oregon.gov. This change will allow us to merge our pages together without losing followers. Don’t worry – it’s still us!

We’re excited to have one central place to continue bringing you information about services and supports that can help all you current and soon-to-be resource families. Stay tuned for more updates and thank you for being amazing supporters of our mission to serve resource families and children in foster care in Oregon!
