May is National Foster Care Month. On May 19 and 20 at 7:30 p.m. Five Acres will partner with All Saints Church to light the church blue — the signature color of National Foster Care Month — to highlight Five Acres’ #Seen campaign. Passersby are encouraged to share a photo of the lights on social media with the hashtag #Seen and tag the nonprofit @fiveacresorg to raise awareness for the more than 20,000 children in need of permanent families in Los Angeles.

“Los Angeles is grappling with a critical shortage of loving foster families. The lights will serve as symbolic beacons to help foster children be seen,” says Chanel Boutakidis, Five Acres CEO. “Whether you consider fostering, volunteering, donating or simply sharing a photo online, our ‘Seen’ campaign this May is chance for our community to spotlight these deserving kids and resolve to act on their behalf.”

To view the lights, visit All Saints Episcopal Church at 132 N. Euclid Avenue in Pasadena any time after 7:30 pm on May 19–20, 2019.
