Nearly 450 Cards for Community Heroes distributed to first responders

Local foster families are grateful for North Idaho's first responders. Several families gathered Nov. 14 at the Cove in Post Falls for the Cards for Community Heroes foster family service project, led by Fostering Idaho Region 1 recruitment coordinator Shae Mouchett. Nearly 450 cards and posters were crafted by hands big and small. On Tuesday, Mouchett and her family visited area fire and police stations to deliver those tokens of heartfelt appreciation on behalf of the foster family community ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. "With everything that happened in our community over the summer, we wanted to express our gratitude to them for all that they do for not only the community at large, but for our foster families and vulnerable children," Mouchett said.
