RAYMOND — The Raymond Village Community Church and the Raymond Library are partnering to offer a program to help people better understand what foster care is and why it is so critical for the support of some of the state’s most vulnerable children, organizers said.
The program will take place on 6:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, May 15, at the church, 27 Main Street, Raymond Village.
Presenter Sharon Dadmun, licensed master social worker, is a treatment foster care supervisor for SMART Child and Family Services in Windham.
“There are some 1,800 children in foster care at any one time in Maine, but there are less than 1,500 foster care families, meaning that every month there are 20 to 25 children lacking stable, caring homes,” said Dadmun. “We want the people of Maine to become more aware of the importance of foster care, and to better understand the critical need for new foster families.”
RVCC Pastor, the Rev. Nancy Foran said, “This is another example of the active partnership between RVCC and the Raymond Library as we work together to make the people of Raymond and the broader Lakes Region more aware of critical public issues that affect our area.”
Admission is free, and light refreshments will be served.
