Foster Care Program Director
"As of 2021, there were 15,449 children in the foster care system in Ohio (HHS.gov), and 56% of these children were placed in nonrelative foster homes (Child Trends). At St. Vincent Family Services, we are working to increase the number of foster homes available for so many children in need across our community."
