Program Description


"Its invaluable, you cant put a price tag to what they have done.
Without them a lot of our children would probably fall through the cracks, but with our foster grandparents, they come in and they have saved lives, they have changed lives for some of our children."

– Patricia Middleton, School Principal. source:Corporation for National and Community Service.
