Last week we visited the Orange County Foster Care Auxiliary. It’s a bit of a wordy title, but it’s a great group. The purpose of the Auxiliary is to support foster children by providing training, resources and support to foster parents. The auxiliary runs a thrift shop in Anaheim, Ca (on Brookhurst between Orange and Broadway) as well as providing classes, social get-togethers (parties and picnics) and other supports. We got a chance last Saturday to visit the “back room” of the thrift shop where foster parents are able to pick up much needed items free of charge, once a month. It is a nice organization to connect with when you are new to this role of foster parenting and needing a little support from people who have been there before.
