Bring your creativity and artistic abilities forward to create a bluebird or choose one from our flock to display in the community on the lawn of McGuffey Art Center, helping to raise awareness for our kids experiencing foster care.

One original bluebird work of art to represent each unique child experiencing foster care.

There are currently more than 193 boys and girls in our community experiencing foster care.

These children will help build the future of our community, but right now their future depends on us!!!
