Let's Collaborate!

One way to help us is to share our resources and information where you are! If you have a lobby or storefront, you can create an opportunity to share our mission and work with those who may be unfamiliar with us. Do you know of newsletters or email blasts that would share our information? Let us know, as we would love to show our partnership. 

Proclamation

We want to spread awareness of the almost 22,000 children in foster care in Illinois. Join us when you use our template to ask your Mayor or your local government to proclaim May as National Foster Care Month. 

We share important information, statistics, and more in regard to the foster care system in Illinois. Our reach can go even further with your help. Sharing your personal story with foster care is an easy way to raise brand awareness that can make a major impact. Use the hashtag #LIBUFosterCare so we can like, comment, and share your posts and photos!
