Fostering Futures: Foster Care, Adoption & Advocacy Forum at St. Luke School


Tuesday, April 25, 2017, from 7-9pm, St. Luke Parish Auditorium, 322 N 175th St, Shoreline, 98133.

There is an increase in the number of foster children yet a decrease in the number of foster homes in Washington State.

The number of foster children in Washington State is higher than the number of all children enrolled in the Shoreline Public School District K-12 (10,000 foster children compared to approximately 8,000 registered students in Shoreline).

There are 1,300-1,500 foster children waiting for a foster home in King County alone.

St. Luke Catholic Parish in Shoreline is hosting an information session sponsored by the Archdiocese of Seattle to inform the public about how to help foster children in our community through volunteer opportunities, temporary and long term foster parenting, and adoption.

The event is free and open to the public. We welcome people from any religious background.

Register for the information session
