SUMMARY:Multi-Cultural West Virginia Virtual Training
DESCRIPTION:Training Title: Multi-Cultural West Virginia \nDate and Time: November 30\, 2021\, from 10:00am to 12:00pm  \nTraining Description: Some people tend to assume West Virginia is lacking in cultural diversity\, partly because in most parts of the state we may not see large numbers of racial and ethnic populations outside of White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Whether or not we look the same culture is reflected in how we sound\, act\, and interpret information differently from place to place. Culture is a community’s shared set of norms\, practices\, beliefs\, values\, traditions\, customs\, history\, and means of expression that affects how we analyze\, judge\, and interpret information\, behavior\, and perceptions about behavior. \nTrainer and Credentials: Robin Atkinson\, MSW\, LGSW \nCEUs Available: None \nCosts for Non-KVC Staff and Foster Parents: None ($0) \nIf paying\, please pay in cash or a check made out to KVC West Virginia.  \nMeeting link\nFor questions\, contact: Robin Atkinson at 304-859-4229 or ratkinson@kvc.org

SUMMARY:Make This Holiday Season Special for Youth in Foster Care
DESCRIPTION:This year\, start a NEW tradition! \nLast year\, the COVID-19 pandemic rapidly changed the way we live our daily lives\, and disrupted\, rescheduled and even canceled normal traditions like graduation ceremonies\, vacations and holiday celebrations. While we’re all adjusting to the new normal\, why not start a NEW tradition?! \nThis holiday season\, start a new tradition and give back to your community with our Holiday Heroes program! Holiday Heroes can be individuals\, families\, churches\, community organizations or businesses. \nChildren who find themselves in foster care are victims of abuse\, neglect or other family challenges. While our foster families provide so much love and care to the children and teens they serve\, as well as a safe place to live\, it can be difficult to provide “extra” items like presents during the holidays. Providing gifts is one way you can support foster families and show children that they matter. \nKVC West Virginia has collected and provided gifts to children in foster care for over 10 years. Because of our incredible Holiday Heroes\, we were able to purchase gifts for nearly 200 families and 1\,000 children in foster care last year. Join us in making the holiday season special for these children in need! \nHow do I become a Holiday Hero?\nThere are a few ways to become a Holiday Hero! First\, choose how you’d like to donate from the options below. Just like last year\, we’re offering contact-free donation options with our online donation form and an Amazon wishlist. If you prefer to donate in-person\, we also accept unwrapped gifts at our offices and have strict sanitization processes in place. All in-person donations must be dropped off by Friday\, December 10. \n1. \n2. Purchase items from our Amazon wish list and they’ll ship directly to our office: https://amzn.to/3oDcPRh\n3. Complete this form if you’d like to donate physical gifts or a gift card:\n\nIf you have questions\, please contact Kristi Ferrell at (304) 687-3851 or krferrell@kvc.org.
