PORT ORANGE, FL, May 12, 2015 (Newswire.com) - WHAT: Duffels for Kids Walk

WHEN: Saturday, May 16, 2015 @ 9 a.m.

WHERE: Kenneth Parker Amphitheater, 2001 City Center Circle, Port Orange, FL 

WHY: There are more than 8,000 children in foster care in Florida and many of them move from home to home with their belongings in a trash bag. Duffels for Kids hosts an annual walk to raise funds to provide duffels to every child in foster care. 

Duffels for Kids is the brainchild of the Florida State Foster/Adoptive Parent Association (FSFAPA), a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to serving the needs of foster, adoptive and kinship caregivers in the state of Florida, as they fulfill their duties in protecting Florida’s most vulnerable children.

This walk is held in May to commemorate National Foster Care Month.
