We’re proud to share that Families United Network was recently featured in the Williamsport Sun-Gazette. In his “Chamber Connection” column, Mark Maroney looks at FUN’s mission, our impact here in Lycoming County and across Pennsylvania, and some exciting changes as we celebrate 30 years of service.
The article covers the full range of our work, including foster care, kinship care, adoption, and peer support, and the families who make it possible. Over the past three decades, hundreds of Lycoming County children have found forever homes through FUN. Today we support more than 500 children statewide through a network of 380 licensed foster homes.
As our CEO, Ron Simon, told the Sun-Gazette, “Every child deserves a safe, permanent, and nurturing foundation.”
The feature also introduces Ana Gonzalez-White, who leads our newly launched Development Department. The Development initiative builds lasting partnerships with individuals, local businesses, and foundations to sustain our work for years to come.
How You Can Help
The need for foster families is still great, especially for sibling groups and children with specialized needs. A foster family lets these children stay connected to their families, schools, and communities.
