PORTAGE COUNTY HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES HAS CRITICAL NEED FOR FOSTER FAMILIES:
Health & Human Services has between 95-100 Portage County children & youth placed in foster homes, more than ever before, due to safety issues in their family. The need for more residents of Portage County to consider becoming Foster Parents, for local children, has never been higher. Foster children range in age from newborns to youth approaching age 18. Currently, the majority of children in foster homes are under age 10. Homes for sibling groups, of 2 – 4 children, as well as homes for kids within their current school districts are needed. Individuals and couples interested in more information about the process of becoming Foster Parents are encouraged to contact Danita Docka at Portage County Health & Human Services….(715)-345-5913 or via email at dockad@co.portage.wi.us.
