Designated May of each year as "Foster Care Month" in New Jersey.
This resolution designates May of each year as "Foster Care Month" in New Jersey to raise awareness about the state's foster care system, which serves over 3,100 children annually. It requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public recognition of foster care professionals and the children in care. The designation aligns with the national observance of National Foster Care Month, which focuses on supporting family connections and celebrating those who help children find permanent homes.
