VOLUNTEERS
As an LFC family for several years in the 1990's and again
since 2006, I have found my experiences to be most
rewarding. The highlights during the most recent 3 or 4
placements of pre-schoolers have been: to hear their laughter,
see their enjoyment in the simple things of life, like new
pajamas or shoes or playing in the park or watching a favorite
DVD, and to be attentive and compassionate to their
concerns. It is a blessing to be able to provide these little
ones security and understanding during a period of crisis in their
lives, be it for several days or several weeks.

You Can Make a Difference
Volunteer families are needed in Loudoun County to provide a safe, caring environment during a time of crisis and upheaval in a child's life. LFC families become part of a network, working together with community agencies such as, the LFC Board of Directors and Loudoun County Department of Family Services (DFS).
An LFC family may be:
- a married couple or single adult
- with or without children
- working or retired persons
LFC families serve on a completely volunteer basis and receive no financial compensation. They do, however, receive a great deal of satisfaction knowing that they have reached out to a child at a difficult time and that their loving care may have made a difference in that child's life.
