LaBree's Bakery



Greetings!April 23, 2020To Whom It Concerns:Every year, Bangor DHHS (Office of Children and Family Services) organizes a banquet to show local resource parents how much we appreciate the difficult work they do each day. Child care is provided, and the evening will be dedicated to those who open their homes and families to victims of abuse and neglect. Dinner will be catered and OFCS staff has donated funds toward gift baskets for resource parents who attend. Each year, approximately 1,500 Maine children are removed from their homes and placed with resource parents. These children are often victims of unimaginable trauma and can demonstrate an array of behavioral and emotional challenges. At the Bangor Office of Family and Children Services, we understand the importance of supporting resource parents as they care for and nurture the children we place with them. It’s important to our office that resource parents feel appreciated and know how vitally important they are in our mission to ensure child safety. We would appreciate it very much if you could make a donation to assist us in reminding local resource parents how much this community values them.We will be holding our annual Foster Parent Appreciation Banquet in September or October 2020 (a date has not been set at this time) and should your business be willing to make a donation this would have to be done by September 1, 2020. Should a donation be made they can always be mailed before September 1, 2020. In the past we have received items that could be raffled off (gift cards, sporting event tickets, gift baskets, autographed books, art work, kayaks, etc). Donations can be mail to: DHHS C/O Trish McKinley 19 Maine Ave Bangor, ME. 04401We are a nonprofit organization, so if a donation is made, I can provide the tax id number should it be needed!
