You Can Make A Difference In The Life Of A Child
Becoming a foster parent isn’t rocket science. It’s about providing a path to a better future. Dockside Services knows that families are like trees. They take time to grow and flourish. We believe that every child deserves a stable and nurturing environment to blossom into their full potential. By opening your heart and home to a foster child, you can become an essential part of their journey, offering support, love, and guidance. Just like a tree needs care and attention to thrive, fostering a child requires patience, understanding, and a commitment to their well-being, ensuring they have a strong foundation for a brighter future ahead.
Dockside Services offers a comprehensive range of programs, including Family Preservation Services and Community-Based Services, aimed at strengthening families and communities.

Love isn't a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like 'struggle '.
To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is,
right here and now
– and to go on caring even through times that may bring us pain.
