Vision Now – April 2023

Vision Now The Need for Foster Parents

Building strong and safe neighborhoods is a focus of Lakeland Vision. Part of ensuring the safety, strength and well-being of our neighborhoods is protecting and providing for some of the vulnerable among us: children in foster care. This month’s Listen Lakeland, host Trinity Laurino explores the increased need for foster parents in Polk county with guests Kim Daugherty from Heartland for Children and foster parent, Cindy Glover.
