Family #104935: Located in Atlantic County, Egg Harbor 08234 
This is an incredible family of 9!  These amazing caregivers have five adoptive children, two boys and three girls, and the two children they are fostering are both girls.  The children range in age from 12 to 4 so this is an extremely busy household! The family could use a mother’s helper especially with babysitting, transportation, and possibly some tutoring or homework help. Arts and crafts are always a fun way to spend with this family as well!

Family #18206 Located in Burlington County, Evesham 08053

Family #14803: Located in Camden County, Cherry Hill 08002 
This is an inspiring family of 6!  With two biological children, one adoptive child, and one child that this family is fostering, they are extremely busy yet find time to have fun together! While the children’s ages range from 8 to 1, this family could use a volunteer for babysitting and resource based financial support. Activities such as family outings become difficult with so many little one’s so it would be great to have an extra set of eyes! This family would love a volunteer who wants to jump right in!

Family #73412: Located in Camden County, Winslow 08081

This family is ready and waiting for your support!

Family #145200: Located in Mercer County, Lawrence 08648
