It takes a village to raise a child. The Polk County Department of Social Services asks the community to join their village and help the children of Polk County who are in foster care or are waiting to be adopted.

The Polk County Department of Social Services will offer foster parent training classes beginning March 30.

If you are interested in taking these classes to become foster or adoptive parents, call Jennifer Pittman at 828-859-5825 to sign up.
