LUCAS COUNTY CHILDREN SERVICES ASKS YOU TO “TAKE THE NEXT STEP.”
Lucas County Children Services (LCCS) is asking families to “TAKE THE NEXT STEP” by learning about becoming a foster parent. LCCS currently needs families willing to foster children of all ages, particularly infants and young children.
Anyone interested in learning more about fostering should plan to attend free information and training classes at LCCS’ offices, 705 Adams Street in downtown Toledo.
