111Tulsa will be holding its first citywide “RECRUITS” event from 2 to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 9, encouraging local churches to be the solution in finding and supporting foster families to fill the shortage. The event will be held at theChurch.at, 1915 E 3rd St Tulsa, OK 74104. This effort is specifically designed for all individuals connected in the Christian faith community that are interested in learning more about how to get involved in foster care in Tulsa County. Program speakers, activities, breakouts, and expo participants will be catering their presentation and information to individuals who are new or wanting to get more involved with foster care and adoption.

Program speakers include adult adoptees, foster parents, adoptive parents, DHS staff and adults who grew up in foster care.

Vendors include foster care agencies, adoption agencies, related volunteer organizations, support organizations for foster families, and counseling providers.

The event is free, but registration is requested. For more information visit 111Tulsa.org.
