We all need a helping hand now and then! If you're interested in helping children by being a foster parent in Niagara, join us for one of our upcoming information sessions. Register here: facsniagara.on.ca/our.../fosteri…

We’re out at the 50+ Active Living Fair in St. Catharines this morning (Dunlop Dr). Come on out - say hi and learn about the different opportunities to support children and youth in Niagara.

Help make the holidays brighter for children in Niagara by giving to our Foundation's 'Gift of Hope' campaign. facsniagarafoundation.org/gift-of-hope-2…

It's Holiday Smile Cookie Week! 🍪This week only, you can get smile cookies at any Tim Horton's Welland Restaurant and proceeds will support FACS and Tim Horton's summer camps. Treat yourself for a great cause!

Today we pause to honour and reflect on the sacrifices made by so many individuals who have served, and continue to serve Canada during times of war, conflict, and peace. Remembrance Day is a time to recognize their bravery, dedication, and the profound impact of their service.

Interested in fostering? You can attend one of our in-person or virtual information sessions to learn more! There's no cost and no obligation. facsniagara.on.ca/our-services/f…

Wishing everyone a very safe and happy Halloween! Drivers, please be extra cautious on the roads tonight while the little ones are out trick or treating.

It was a real pleasure to have our foster parents and volunteers at Saturday's @OHLIceDogs game as a small gesture of thanks for everything they do for children and youth in Niagara. They truly are all stars!

From all of us here in Niagara - good luck to the @BlueJays in the World Series! #WANTITALL
