Child Share is an ecumenical non-profit program that seeks to provide physical, emotional and spiritual support for foster families and their children. When a child enters foster care for the first time, he or she receives a welcome basket that contains many items including a quilt or blanket. These children range in age from infancy to 18 years.They can keep these blankets ó one of their few possessions as they start life with a new family. (News Photo by Carey Head)
