A RESOLUTION
Recognizing the month of May 2020 as "Foster Care Month" in
Pennsylvania.

self-esteem and support, is the very foundation of our
communities and this Commonwealth; and
WHEREAS, The House of Representatives is fully committed to
strengthening and supporting all families in this Commonwealth;
and
WHEREAS, Maintaining family unity is not always possible with
families in crisis and sometimes children must be placed in a
safe and nurturing family environment outside of their own home;
and
WHEREAS, In 2018, 25,441 children in this Commonwealth were
served by foster families who selflessly shared their homes and
their hearts with them; and
