Bill Wilson Center is seeking caring individuals to be trained to provide a loving foster home to a child in need.
Right here in Santa Clara County, over 1,000 children have been removed from their birth families due to child abuse or severe neglect and are placed in foster care. They are deeply impacted by trauma, grief and loss. Each child’s situation is unique, yet they have the same crucial need for a stable caring home.
We know it can seem like a daunting task, so we host no-obligation informational meetings on the first Thursday of each month from 6-8pm and the third Friday from 12-1pm at our San Jose office located at 1671 The Alameda Suite 201, San Jose, CA 95126. Individual meetings can also be accommodated. We provide 24/7 support to our foster parents and a generous stipend.
Call 408-278-4915 or email inquiries@billwilsoncenter.org.
Please call today - you have the opportunity to provide a child with a better chance at a successful life.
