The Freestone County Child Protective Services Board has been working for several months to make sure that the foster children in Freestone County have a very merry Christmas! With the help of donations from a very generous family in Fairfield, the beautiful handmade stockings and quilts made by Martha Kirgan and Paula Wade and the ladies of Delta Kappa Gamma, we believe the children will be very happy indeed!
The Board’s mission is to provide financial support throughout the year for the needs of foster children and families involved with the Child Protective Services (CPS) System in Freestone County. It is our goal to educate the communities in Freestone County about issues regarding child abuse and neglect that are ongoing in our county.
For more information, please contact Katherine Jackson at 972-965-4296 or leave a message on the Freestone County CPS Board Facebook page.
CPS Board members are: Katherine Jackson-Chairman, Cheryl Evans-Vice Chairman, Lovie Whyte-Treasurer, Amie Mullen-Secretary, Pam Barnes, Jeannie Keeney, Linda Manning, Beth Smith, Rhonda Treece, Krystal Walker.
