Lutheran Family Services in the Carolinas (LFS Carolinas) will host TEAM HOPE a Therapeutic Foster Parent Recruitment Party on Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 11 a.m. at the Department of Social Services office at 3366 River Ave in North Charleston.

TEAM HOPE invites members of the community to learn about the benefits of serving children as loving therapeutic foster parents. The event features a special presentation by USC Heisman Trophy winner, George Rogers “38”, where he will share his own experience as a child along with stories from long time foster parents.

The presentation will be followed by an autograph signing and meet and greet with Rogers. Pictures of the athlete and activist will be available for a small donation to LFS Carolinas Therapeutic Foster Care program.

LFS Carolinas’ Foster Care staff will be on hand to answer questions and sign up new families. All LFS foster parents receive training, 24/7 support by highly trained and caring staff, competitive reimbursement starting at $900 a month, respite care and monthly support group meetings.
