LCROC: Team Building for Good
We are looking for volunteers. For over a decade Foster Love continues to improve the ways kids experience foster care. We will be making Superhero boxes for youth in foster care.
Attendees must RSVP.
Membership in LCROC is an excellent way to meet likeminded people, participate in political activities, and join together with allies. We welcome guests, whether with a member or as visitor interested discovering more about LCROC. One of the greatest ways to contribute as a member is to refer friends and arrive early to greet visitors.

"Foster Love is a dynamic non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children in foster care. Our passionate team, comprised of adults and former foster youth, works tirelessly to ensure these vulnerable children are not forgotten or neglected. Through collaborations with individuals, companies, and community partners, we provide essential resources and educational opportunities for foster youth.
Superhero boxes combat the uncertainty and depression children often feel while in foster care. The goal is to help foster youth feel S.U.P.E.R. (Self Assured, Uplifted, Proud, Empowered, & Resilient)!" (Foster Love)
Foster Care Facts: Youth typically spend about 20 months in foster care. 6% of all children in the U.S. will find themselves in the foster care system before they turn 18. There are approximately 430,000 children in foster care. 50% of the U.S. homeless population spend time in foster care. (Foster Love). The main reasons children enter foster care are neglect, drug use, and abuse by parents. Research has consistently shown that nearly 1 in 5 foster care youth are part of the LGBTQ community. In many circumstances, being LGBTQ is a part of the reason that they are in foster care. (Youth.gov)
