Resource Family is a term California applies to caregivers who provide out-of-home care for children in foster care. Resource Families may be single or two parent households. They may be related to the child (kinship) or have a familiar or mentoring relationship with the child, or no previous relationships with the child. For more information about how you can become a Resource Parent or get involved with Lilliput Families, please visit our website at https://www.lilliput.org/now.

Since we won’t get to bowl together this year, we’re having fun by asking folks to send us a video of you bowling at home to show your support!

The event will be from 6:00 to 6:45 p.m. Go to www.lilliput.org/spare for all the details!
