By way of Stormare Mackee at Appalachistan:

"May is the National Foster Care Month. There are over 500,000 kids in foster care in the United States. If you're interested in helping children in foster care, the L.I.F.T. mentoring program established by Governor Bredesen desperately needs volunteers. For four to six hours per month, you can help a teen in foster care to gain valuable life skills. Individuals interested in applying to be a mentor can call 1-866-519-LIFT (5438) to receive an application, or contact Youth Villages at 215-7220."
