GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- To celebrate the holiday season, West Michigan Partnership for Children (WMPC) is sharing ways the community can support children in foster care, foster families, and families working towards reunification during the holiday season and beyond.
Donations to its partner organizations - Bethany Christian Services, Catholic Charities West Michigan, D.A. Blodgett - St. John’s, Samaritas, and Wellspring Lutheran Services - will go towards programs, services, and supplies needed for children in foster care and their families in Kent County.
