Hi! I am Katy Wood and have been with the Hands and Feet for the past couple years. I am the co director for Broward County. I have always had a passion for foster care since I was young. I haven’t had children in my home yet but love being a part of this community! Many of my friends have fostered and I have always tried to support them on their journeys. Long before The Hands and Feet started, I packed a small bin with girls and boys newborn items for a friend that was just licensed. Now I get to pack bags for several kids a week!
Serving relative caregivers and biological parents is one of my favorite parts of the job! Providing loving caregivers and parents with what they need for the kids helps to keep them with their families. There is such a great need in this area to wrap around the children. There are so many ways for all of us to be a part of what The Hands and Feet is doing. Come join us!
Katy, thank you for all you do. It is such a privilege to be part of your volunteer team in Broward.
