Illustration of hands holding a camera for Foster Friends Picture Day

Picture Day is sponsored by our Foster Friends Program. The Foster Friends Program is all about fun, friendship, and making memories! We host parties, special celebrations, and exciting activities for kids in care. It's a chance to laugh, play, and feel like a part of a big circle of friends who truly care.

This event is for youth in care to get professional pictures, either by themselves or with their special people.

Stay tuned for dates and registration information from DSS and CASA on how to sign up for our Blue Ribbon Project Picture Day event.
