SIDNEY Several local organizations helped make Christmas extra special this year for foster children in the area.
“As a foster parent recruiter, I’m constantly out in the community talking with organizations, and networking, and things like that. When it comes to this I am currently looking at our lobby with all these gifts that I’m trying to put name tags on and organize, right it literally has brought me down to where I am getting teared up just thinking about how amazing our community has been,” Sylvia Roop, foster parent recruiter for SAFY, said.
