Foster the Village

Blankets Donated to “Foster the Village”      For 2 weeks before Christmas Sisters were able to participate in the making of five tied blankets to donate to “Foster the Village”. On December 16, Sisters Agnes Fisher, Charlene Hockers, Joanne Goessl, Ruth Ann La Bine and Monica Rose Bongert toured “Foster the Village” and delivered the blankets.

Cheri Salmon, Executive Director, is an amazing woman whose vision and large heart have made dreams come true for so many foster children and foster parents. “Foster the Village” is a tax-exempt 501(c)3, non-profit organization formed to provide aid to the Brown County foster care community. They supply free clothing, shoes, diapers, and other care items to children who arrive in out-of-home care without adequate supplies after being removed from parental custody due to abuse or neglect. For more information and/or to take a tour please visit this website: https://fosterthevillage.org
