“Foster Children of Lake County”
Gamma Theta Chapter, eastern Lake County, held a program on Tuesday, October 9th entitled, “Foster Children of Lake County”. Kelly Kolberg, Social Worker for Lake County Job and Family Services was the speaker. Kelly discussed the foster and adoptive needs of Lake County along with explaining the process for becoming a foster parent. She gave statistics on how the need has risen over the last few years with the opioid epidemic. Kelly also talked about a teacher’s role in the classroom and signs to watch for on a daily basis. Chapter members generously donated items that had been requested by the department including items in all sizes for both girls and boys of winter hats & gloves, socks and underwear. Donations will be collected all year and a Chapter member will be in contact with Kelly to check on how their donation needs change as the year progresses.
