Children who have recently been removed from their homes due to unsafe living conditions or trauma often wait in a DSHS office for up to 8 hours while a suitable placement is found. This can be a time of high anxiety and uncertainty, but these kids don't have to go through it alone! Office Moms (and Dads!) are a team of on-call volunteers who's sole purpose is to sit with and entertain kids awaiting placement in a DSHS office. We hope to make the transition into foster care just a little bit easier on kids, and support our overloaded social workers by helping with the child-care aspect of their job. A group of amazing volunteers is being assembled right now in Seattle, but we need funding to get the program off the ground. Office Moms to the rescue!
