OTHER WAYS TO HELP
If you are not in a position to adopt or foster a child, your help is still needed to help us provide for the safety and care of our children. YOU CAN...
Attend a monthly orientation for prospective community foster care/adoptive parents
- Orientations are held either the fourth Wednesday of the month from 6:30 to 9 p.m. or the third Saturday of the month from 2 to 4:30 p.m. For more information about family orientation, contact S.E.A.R.C.H. Services at (813) 864-1435 or via email.
- At our orientation, learn about the unique aspects of our agency, meet the individuals you will be partnering with, and learn about the process of bringing hope to a child.
Become a part of Project SEARCH
