Children’s Aid and Family Services Honors Foster Parents

A unique event was held in the Hackensack Golf Club’s main ballroom recently. Instead of a wedding or gala, it was a luncheon for foster parents and the medically needy infants and toddlers they nurture. Sponsored by the Franklin Lakes Newcomers and Neighbors Club, it was a relaxing event where the agency had the opportunity to offer its gratitude to its dedicated foster parents.

Glen Rock residents Pam and Ed Brady and North Bergen residents Felicia and Marco DeLucia were commended for 10 years of service to Children’s Aid and Family Services and the vulnerable children it serves.

Children’s Aid and Family Services’ Medically Needy Foster Care program serves infants and children ages newborn through 4, who often suffer from the complications of a premature birth and whose birth parents are unable to care for them. As May is National Foster Care Month, this is a great time to find out how you can make a difference in a vulnerable child’s life.
