Foster Parent Appreciation
We Appreciate You
Being a foster parent is both challenging and rewarding. Foster caregivers like you open your heart and home to the children who need you most. On behalf of all us at DCS, we recognize your service and are thankful for you all year round, but given the month of May is National Foster Care Month, we wanted to help bring the Arizona community together to show our appreciation.
A Token of Thanks
It’s because of foster parents like you, 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. Be sure to check back for more offers.
As part of this month-long recognition, we will have a celebration event Saturday, May 13 at the Arizona Science Center in downtown Phoenix. With help from the Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation (AFFCF), Arizona Science Center is providing 1,000 complimentary general admission tickets (limit 4 per family) to foster families across the state. Doors open at 9:30 am! Along with discounted admission all month long.
AFFCF pays for children in foster care to participate in fun activities throughout Arizona. See how they provide support by going to affcf.org/guidelines.
