AIS Fostering Hope with Professor Shafer
AIS Student like me helped out Professor Shafer and his wife with renovating a building to host Foster Hope.
Professor Shafer’s wife, Kim, and Professor Shafer are supporters of a non-profit organization called “Fostering Hope” (see fosteringhopepa.com). Fostering Hope is all about helping children who are entering the Foster Care system, and their foster families. They have been foster-parents ourselves, and they know how meaningful such support is. Kim is the Chapter Coordinator for the newest branch of that organization – the Northeast Philadelphia chapter.
Each Fostering Hope chapter manages a lot of donated items: clothes, hygiene products, and “baby stuff” (car seats, highchairs, playpens, etc.). Each chapter must figure out where to keep it all!
