Your retirement plans, life insurance policies, and annuities can all help LCFS continue to support children and families! Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately.

Today is Grandparents Day! Foster parents come in all shapes and sizes, and a number of LCFS foster parents are grandparents taking in their grandchildren who need a safe place to stay for a while.

Thanks to support from the Russell and Josephine Kott Memorial Charitable Trust, which provides grant funding to our Older Caregiver Support Program, we can provide funds for foster parents age 50+ to pay for extras and to remove some of the financial burden. The Kott Grant is intended especially for family activities, child-specific assistance and respite care. Many of our “grand foster parents” used the funds to have fun this summer including mini-vacations with the kids, outings to local museums and zoos, and paying for extracurricular activities like sports and music lessons.

We celebrate all the grandparents who step up to provide a loving, peaceful home for their grandchildren. Happy Grandparents Day!

We've already started planning for our foster care Christmas parties across the state! These fun events give foster parents and children an opportunity to celebrate the season with treats, festive activities, and, of course, a gift from Santa! Would your business or organization like to help provide toys for Santa to pass out to foster children this Christmas? Please contact Melissa at [email protected] for more information.

Please join LCFS in celebrating Case Aide Supervisor NaTosha Hamilton’s 10-year work anniversary. Reflecting on her decade of service, she said, “Over the years I have had the privilege of supporting children and families through some of life's most difficult moments, while learning valuable lessons about compassion, resilience and the power of advocacy.” She recently earned an MA in Organizational Leadership from Lewis University with financial assistance as part of her LCFS benefits. We invite you to celebrate NaTosha’s milestone in the comments.
