The East River Foster Parent Network works to provide the following services for children in foster care:

(ERFPN.com)

  • Activity reimbursement scholarships
  • Camp reimbursement scholarships
  • Clothing
  • Personal hygiene items
  • Beds
  • Dressers

While continuing to provide these on-going services, the Network has identified some important and unmet needs. As the number of children in foster care continues to climb, we believe this trend can be reversed. By identifying barriers to success, we believe we can take a preventative approach to ending the generational cycle of abuse and neglect among families in our community.
