May is Foster Care Month and several organizations are using the opportunity to celebrate the services they offer to young people and their caregiver families.
Eagle Village in Osceola County operates a rural setting for children with emotional and behavioral challenges and also licenses their own foster homes.
Officials there say this month is a targeted time to recruit parents and establish more foster homes.
Cathey Prudhomme, President and CEO at Eagle Village, said their efforts are meant to raise the hopes for children and young people in the foster care system.
"We also replace children in those homes and supervise them, as well as work with the biological families of those children to determine if they can learn and earn the great privilege of parenting their children again." Prudhomme said
Prudhomme said the ultimate goal is to always reunite the children with their biological parents.
