Thank you for your past support!

 

Dear Visitors & Supporters of the VCFPA,

The Ventura County Foster Parent Association Board of Directors met and decided that as of January 2019, we will no longer be operating as an independent non-profit organization in Ventura County and as such have stopped all programs and services.  As long-time members of this community, we made this decision after extensive debate and consideration and do note take it lightly.

We feel that for our care provider community to thrive and grow in the future, foster parents, relative care providers, and family members need a single voice to represent them and that voice MUST start with legislative advocacy so that YOUR rights are equally represented when policies and laws are developed – not just once they become a problem.   As a stand-alone organization, we feel that we can not provide the services necessary to meet this challenge and therefore strongly encourage you to turn your support to the California Alliance of Caregivers.

There is no-cost for membership to the California Alliance of Caregivers and your voice will join the thousands of other care providers across Ventura County and the entire State of California that drive the legislative agenda that empowers and enables the various Child Welfare Agencies that impact you and your families on a daily basis.

Thank you for your support in the past and we wish you the best of luck in the future!  Remember – the only person that is going to look out for your best interest is you!  Let your voice be heard loudly and without shame or delay!

 

Most Respectfully,
Rick Pugh
President, Ventura County Foster Parent Association
