LIVE THE PROMISE HOSTS WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES, FOSTER CARE AWARENESS
EVENT - A 1 MILE FAMILY-ORIENTED WALK HELD IN MONTGOMERY, AL.THE
PURPOSE OF WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES IS TO PROMOTE AWARENESS AND
RESPONSE BY ALL FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST TO THE CRISIS FACED BY ALABAMA'S
6,000+ FOSTER CHILDREN DUE TO THE SHORTAGE OF GOOD FOSTER HOMES AND
LACK OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.
Participants are asked to bring new twin sheets and toiletry items to
carry during the walk - symbolic of the many moves foster children
endure due to the shortage of foster homes. After the walk these items
will be donated to foster care organizations. Please consider donating
a gift card in $5 increments for local food and outings to enrich the
lives and experiences of our children.
Organizations that serve foster children and families are present to
provide information on ways the community can get involved through
praying, volunteering, or becoming a foster or adoptive family.
