Could you be the safe place a child needs – right now? If you’ve ever felt a pull to help a child in need but weren’t sure where to start, this evening is for you.

Join us for an informative and compassionate in-person Casual Conversation on Foster Care and Licensing with the Children’s Home, an organization committed to protecting children, strengthening families, and building brighter futures for those who have experienced trauma. Engage in open, candid discussions and share valuable insights in an intimate, small-group session hosted by Let It Be Us. Meet with our dedicated staff, agency caseworkers, and experienced foster parents as we provide the latest updates on foster care and licensing – and give you the opportunity to ask your individual questions. You’ll also learn more about the Illinois child welfare system and the incredible support available to foster families. By offering a stable and loving home, you can make a profound difference in a child’s life. Join us to discover how you can become part of a child’s journey of hope and begin your path to becoming a foster parent.

This rewarding role is ideal for those residing in Peoria, Tazewell, and Woodford counties. Licensed and unlicensed families are welcome. Make a lasting impact on a child’s life by providing a stable and loving home.
