DHR has 110 foster children. This number is less than 2011 as 18 of those children whom you helped last year have now been adopted into their forever homes. While the State of Alabama provides assistance for necessary living expenses, foster parents invest a great deal of their own time and financial resources to insure that these abused and neglected children have as normal and stable a home environment as possible.
DHR hopes that you will be able to help again by contributing to our Christmas Wishes program. You can help provide Christmas gifts to these foster children in several different ways:
*Sponsor the wishes of a specific child or children
*Provide gift cards to popular stores--especially good for our teens - there are 60 teen foster children.
*Make a financial donation to the agency and we will shop for you.
*Copy this request and share it with your friends, family, church, or co-workers.
To sponsor a child, call 205-280-2000 or email the DHR director at marilyn.colson@dhr.alabama.gov.
To make a financial donation, make checks to the Chilton DHR Foster Children's Fund and mail them to
Chilton County Department of Human Resources
P.O. Box 1699
Clanton, AL 35046-1699
Or you may drop donations or gift cards off at our office on Airport Road next to the National Guard Armory. Donations will only be used for the needs of Chilton County foster children.
