Montgomery Bar Association’s Women in the Law Committee, in
partnership with Montgomery County’s Office of Children and Youth,
are hosting a school supply drive to benefit children in foster care
here in Montgomery County. Through August 12th, drop off new school
supplies and book bags at the Montgomery Bar Association between the
hours of 9:00 am and 3:00 pm, Monday – Friday. The building is
located at 100 West Airy Street in Norristown. Organizations
interested in joining MBA’s efforts should contact 610-279-9660.
Foster care affects thousands of children and families, as well as
society as a whole. Child welfare issues arise in families of every
race, ethnicity, culture, income and age group. Children and youth
are placed in foster care when their parents, or guardians, are no
longer able to ensure their essential wellbeing. These young people
need stable, loving care until they can either safely reunite with
their families or establish other lifelong relationships with a
nurturing adult. Your donation will help ease the burden on these
foster families and provide foster children with the educational
tools needed to excel in school and beyond.
