Opportunity to Help with Asheville Area Foster Event


Hi Alliance Friends!

Below is a message from Erica at DSS. Please consider how your orphan ministry can help with this area event. Thanks!

Volunteers Needed - Any Thoughts?
Greetings!



You were selected for this email because you are well connected and understand the need of kids in foster care (or those in kinship placements). Please let me know if you do not want to receive such emails in the future.





On Saturday, August 7th, from 10 – 2, a collaborative of foster care agencies will be putting on a “Everybody Can Help” event at the Asheville Mall.



We will be focusing on community education and recruiting foster parents – but Clear Channel will also be there doing a live on-site broadcast and the Foster Care Association will be taking donations of items for Back-To-School and pre-holiday giving. This is Tax-Free weekend!



So why am I writing to you? We need volunteers to stand at the mall entrances and hand out flyers as people come in.



It’s a simple, fun, generous way to help kids in care – please consider donating some of your time to this event. And please spread the word! Anyone interested can email or call me anytime: 775-2404 or erica.jourdan@buncombecounty.org





Many thanks for all that you do for/with children!



Warm wishes,



Erica
