SUMMARY:Foster Caregiver PreService Training
DESCRIPTION:**VIRTUAL OPTION AVAILABLE** \nAs a reminder\, Prospective Caregivers must create an account in CAPS.  It’s important to inform Prospective Caregivers that the PreService Curriculum can take up to 48 hours to load to their CAPS account.

The registration deadline for PS is 3/1. \nThere are three self-directed courses for PreService- Orientation\, Caregivers Roles and Responsibilities\, and Medication Management. There is a LIVE VIRTUAL CPR course that is also required; there are many options for this course in CAPS. \nAdditionally\, please feel free to refer Prospective Caregivers to the OCWTP/Prospective Caregiver webpage https://ohiocaps.org/ocwtp/prospective-caregivers/ for more information on the preservice courses\, course tracker\, and other useful information.

SUMMARY:Santa Tree
DESCRIPTION:While proudly organized by Athens County Children Services\, this project is funded by the generosity of individuals\, families and businesses here in Athens County. 2022 marks 35 years we have been working together to provide holiday gifts to Athens County children through the Santa Tree Project. \n\n\nWe are collecting wish lists from each individual child we are serving\, and sharing those lists with the community. For every child\, we will craft a holiday ornament that lists their name\, age\, and a few holiday wishes. We will make those available so the community can shop directly for the children. We know this is a beloved tradition for so many\, and we are excited to be able to continue it this year. \n\n\n\nWays to help:\n1. Monetary donations are also encouraged and are used to meet many of the last minute and special requests that we receive. \nChecks can be mailed to PO Box 1046\, Athens\, OH 45701. Checks should be made out to FRIENDS OF CHILDREN SERVICES\, with “Santa Tree Project” included in the memo line. \n2. Visit athenscountysantaproject.blogspot.com to make an online donation through PayPal. \n3. Select an item from our Amazon Wish List! Our Amazon Wish List has some of our most requested items. If you purchase from that list\, the items will be shipped directly to us! \nClick here to see our Amazon Wish List! \n4. We would love to work with your organization to provide gifts for 5\, 25\, or more children! We will mail\, deliver\, or email the “ornaments” for however many children you would like to shop for. Every “ornament” will have the name\, age\, and holiday wishes for a child we are working with. We will also be happy to pick those gifts up when they are ready – let us know if you are interested in our curbside pick-up option! \nIf you have any questions\, please give us a call at 740.592.3061\, or email athenscountysantaproject@gmail.com. \n\n\n\n\n\nSanta Tree Frequently Asked Questions\n\nHow can I shop for a child?\n\n\nGo to The Market on State and select an “ornament” from the Santa Tree.
