GREENSBORO, N.C., April 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Each May Children s Home Society of NC (CHS) recognizes National Foster Care Month. This month salutes the irreplaceable value of foster parents, child welfare professionals, volunteers, and other members of the community who help children and youth in foster care find permanent homes and connections. This is a time to celebrate those who make a meaningful difference in the lives of the more than 423,000 children and youth in foster care nationally.
