The Next Door cares for youth, ages 6-18, in Hood River and Wasco Counties. One foster parent shared, “Our rewards are the kind that surprise you at a moment’s notice. A phone call out of the blue, telling us how much they appreciate the time we spent with them, the belief we had in them and how well they are doing now.”

The needs in Hood River County change on a monthly basis, but the hope is to provide training for a new cohort of potential foster parents so they can be certified by the start of 2017, according to Lindley.
She said, “it really helps everyone to get trained together so they get to know each other.”
