Thousands of
children in foster care and their foster parents will be able to enjoy free
visits to Florida’s state parks this year.
The Florida Department of
Environmental Protection joined with the Florida Department of Children and
Families to celebrate foster parents by donating 15,000 state park passes.
The free passes are part of an
initiative aimed at better supporting, recruiting and retaining foster parents
to help ensure the success of children in foster care.
Part of the initiative is to provide a
chance for them to get outdoors and to lead more normal lives and create lasting
memories with their foster families..
Currently, there are thousands of
children in foster care in Florida who are removed from their homes through no
fault of their own.
Most were removed because they have
been abused and neglected and are not able to safely remain with their
families.
