A Ray of Sunshine

Two Reasons to Celebrate in May

May is Foster Care Awareness Month and Mental Health Awareness Month, and we are celebrating!

“Over Sunbeam’s 115-year history, we have evolved to meet the growing needs of children and families in our community,” said Sunbeam CEO Sarah Rahhal, LCSW. “The month of May offers us an opportunity to shine a light on the kindness of foster families and the benefits of mental health services.”

Thanks to the generous support of our community, Sunbeam has been supporting children in foster care and foster families since the 1930s and provided affordable mental health services since 1940.
