Community-Based: Foster Family Support
Information for Foster Families
Second Mile foster family activities are made possible through the generous donations of those venues. As you look at the calendar you will see that our events are located in three primary areas: Central PA, Southcentral PA, and Southeastern PA. These are the areas where we have the volunteers and resources available to provide events. As our presence expands, we hope to be able to provide activities for families in other areas as well, such as the Southwest region.
We work primarily with the county Children & Youth agencies across Pennsylvania, but have been able to extend the invitation for some of our larger events (Knoebels and Lakemont amusement parks, the Corn Maze event in Lancaster) to other foster care agencies. If your agency has not participated in Second Mile events, please ask your agency worker to contact any of our offices for information regarding possible inclusion in our program.
