New placements

Angels has had a busy week! Every day over the past week, we have gotten a call from CWS about one or more children in need of placement. Not all of these cases have been matches for our open homes, but we've placed a few and are getting ready to place a few more!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! We are so grateful for everyone who contributes to the mission of Angels Foster Care. Whether you are a foster parent, volunteer, donor, or other supporter. In honor of Thanksgiving we say-THANK You! 

A few little tidbits on recent happenings at Angels Foster Care of Santa Barbara.

• Last week, on November 17th, we had a lovely Open House to celebrate the opening of our new office in Orcutt. This office will be the hub for all our cases up in North County. Jennifer will be primary staff person working out of that office as the North County social worker and program director. 
• Santa Barbara Office wall construction has been completed.  Stacy now has a designated office area in the back and a spot for storage.  A contact of ours with Merrill Construction was able to arrange for them to donate their time to build the wall, which meant Angels only had to front the cost of materials. Very generous- thanks! Office decor, children's area, and other finishing touches are still in the works.
