May is Foster Care Appreciation Month! Dawson County currently has FIVE fabulous foster families that have opened their hearts and homes to Dawson County's most vulnerable children and we would like to HONOR them. Thank you for rising up and meeting the needs of our children!

Dawson County is in DIRE need of foster families! f you are inspired to share your heart and home and become a foster or respite family, please contact Autumn Horsley at 706-502-4682.



"Folks, the message is being heard!! Dawson went from having just 2 approved foster homes to 5!!!! But…we need so much more. If you or your church would like to get together and talk all things fostering, please reach out to Rebecca Davidson at rebecca.davidson@dhs.ga.gov and learn how you can make a difference. Not everyone can foster, but everyone can do something to make a difference."
