Franklin County Children Services and Mayor Andrew J. Ginther's FamJam
Each August Franklin County Children Services presents FamJam - A Family Enrichment Festival. The event features fun activities, refreshments and entertainment from local acts. Families have lots of opportunities for education and fun during this day-long, kid-friendly festival. Vendors and community partners host resource booths, where families can find helpful information. Many offer games, free give-aways and activities. In addition, representatives from local agencies and safety forces are on hand to interact with the crowd. Franklin County Children Services staff provide parenting resources, as well as information about adoption and volunteer programs. The event is free and open to the public.
National Adoption Day
National Adoption Day is celebrated across the country as an occasion for recognizing and promoting the need for adoptive families. The adoptions of several children are finalized on this date, thanks to the volunteer efforts of lawyers, foster care and adoption professionals, child advocates and local judges. FCCS marks the occasion with a celebration for the adoptees and their families.
