“National Youth Advocate Program always has a primary mission to find community members willing to open their home to one of the hundreds of local children in foster care. Our secondary mission is to engage a community that is supportive of children and foster families who need to know they’re not alone,” said NYAP Program Supervisor Jamilyn Ruckman. “We are thankful to West Florida Public Libraries for taking an interest in these children and joining us in this mission.”
Library Manager Kim Ball was on hand to present the hats to NYAP Licensing Coordinator Tosha Fletcher. The hats were made during various library-sponsored events using knitting looms.
