Foster Parent Appreciation
We Appreciate You
Being a foster parent is a challenging and rewarding thing. Foster parents like you open your heart and your home to the children that need you most, and give so much to the Arizona community each day. At DCS, we recognize this service and are thankful for you all year round, but this month, Foster Care Month, signifies a time for us to do a little more to show our appreciation.
A Token of Thanks
It is because of foster parents like you, that the children of Arizona have a safe place to call home. Over the next month, we hope you’ll enjoy these deals, discounts, and freebies from AZDCS and some of our friends. Be sure to check back for more offers.
The month-long recognition includes a special family event Saturday, May 18th at the Arizona Science Center in downtown Phoenix. With help from the Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation, Arizona Science Center is providing 300 complimentary general admission tickets (limit 4 per family) to foster families across the state — along with discounted admission all month long.
Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation pays for children in foster care to participate in fun activities throughout Arizona. Visit their guidelines at affcf.org/guidelines to see all that they fund.
