STATE HOUSE – Rep. Julie A. Casimiro (D-Dist. 31, North Kingstown, Exeter) was honored by Child & Family on May 18 for her continued advocacy to support the state’s children in foster care.
“Child & Family does incredible and important work for our state’s children and families involved with the foster care system and I am humbled by their recognition. They have been dedicated partners in advocating for some of Rhode Island’s most vulnerable residents, our foster kids, and I am grateful for all that they do to support these wonderful children,” said Representative Casimiro.
Child & Family held a Foster Family Appreciation dinner at Atwood
Grill in Johnston, RI, to honor and celebrate the accomplishments of foster parents and special guests who have had a role in supporting children, youth, and families in the child welfare system.
Representative Casimiro joined in honoring foster parents while also being
recognized for her staunch advocacy for youth, their families, and foster parents on the legislative level and in particular, for her contributions to the RI Foster Parent Bill of Rights.
Child & Family is a private non-profit human and health service agency that serves children, families, and older adults throughout Rhode Island.
