Fostering

Right now there is a shortage of Foster Families across Massachusetts. Foster parents play a vital role in the future of children across Massachusetts every day. We encourage anyone interested to get involved and shape a child's future. Contact The Department of Children and Families' Southern Region to be connected to our local Foster Care representative or visit one of our branches for more information. 


Adopting a Pet

Animals are important to us, and we know they are important to you too! We support animal shelters all throughout our region in various capacities and encourage our members to get involved. South Coast Shelters are always in need of volunteers, food donations, and of course, families to adopt their furry friends. Ask your local shelter how you can help or check out Fun 107's Wet Nose Wednesday for available animals in your area.
