Lily Pad

 

Lily Pad in an organization that provides a comfortable, child-safe setting within the offices of the Department of Social Services for children awaiting Foster Care placement. When a child comes into foster care (at all hours of the day and night), or their foster placement changes, they often spend time waiting in the offices of the Department of Social Services until their next placement is ready. Lily Pad creates a living room-like setting for children awaiting placement and gives them a place to comfortably rest, play games, do homework, and spend the night if needed. The Guild is providing a twin-sized bed quilt and a lap-sized cuddle quilt for the rocking chair at each Lily Pad location. We also make pillowcases for the children to keep.
