Fresno County employees turned out in force to help give back this holiday season! Answering the call to help those in need, County employees donated 314 coats and sweaters to deliver warmth and cheer to those less fortunate in our community. All donated items were provided to Fresno non-profits Poverello House and the Holy Cross Center for Women.

Thank you to all who participated in this great effort!

Today we are proud to celebrate families! It’s #AdoptionDay2019 in #FresnoCounty and we are overjoyed to see 50 children realize their dream of a permanent home with their forever families as their adoptions are finalized. Today, 30 families close the chapter on the adoption process and begin a new journey forward with children they can call their own. The road to this point has had its challenges for the children and their families, but all have persevered in pursuit of providing love, support and safety for children in need. These families are among many in our community that have opened their hearts and homes as foster families and adoptive parents, making a tremendous impact in the lives of their children. But with more than 2,300 children in various stages of foster care throughout our County, the need for more supportive families is great. If you would like to learn more about becoming a resource family for children in our community, please call 877-533-KIDS (5437) and/or visit https://www.fresnoresourcefamilies.org/ for information.

On this #VeteransDay and each day throughout the year we extend our humble gratitude to all those who have served our country in the United States Armed Forces. To all of our military veterans and those continuing to serve, thank you for your honorable service and selfless sacrifice on behalf of our nation.

Congratulations to all the new hires and those receiving hard-earned promotions with the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office! Thank you for your commitment and selfless dedication to keeping our communities safe.

The Board of Supervisors adopted the following proclamations today: Pic 1-2: The Board has proclaimed October, 2019 as #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth in #FresnoCounty. October is nationally recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness & Prevention Month; a time to celebrate survivors, honor those who have died, raise awareness, and confirm a commitment to preventing domestic violence in our communities. The Board was joined by officials from our local #lawenforcement community, County departments, local advocates and survivors to celebrate the work in our County being done to combat #domesticviolence, raise awareness, and provide much needed support for individuals and families affected. Pic 3-4: The Board has proclaimed November, 2019 as #NationalAdoptionMonth in Fresno County, an effort to increase awareness and bring attention to the need for permanent families for children and youth in the U.S. foster care system. The need for adoptive families in Fresno County and beyond is great as children of all ages are in desperate need of permanent homes that provide stability and hope. Last year in Fresno County alone, 280 children found permanence through adoption. This year, at Fresno County’s annual Adoption Day, 52 more children will do the same as they finalize the #adoption process with their permanent families. And while this is wonderful news, there remain nearly 2,300 children in our County waiting for their forever families. For those interested in learning more about becoming a resource family for children in our community, please call call at 1-877-533-KIDS (5437).

Vacancies have occurred on the Fresno Arts Council and the Fresno County Behavioral Health Board. See notices for details and visit the link in our bio to learn more about the positions and how to apply.

The Board of Supervisors proclaimed the month of October 2019 as “Breast Cancer Awareness Month” in Fresno County. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual nationwide effort to increase awareness of this disease, which affects 1 in 8 women (and 1 in 1,000 men) in the United States over their lifetime. With the exception of skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women with a new diagnosis made in the US, on average, every two minutes. October is a time to educate, raise awareness, dispel myths, and encourage women to be proactive with their breast health. Regular self-exams and clinical exams are critical to early detection, which greatly improves the prognosis. The Board of Supervisors presented the proclamation to Dr. Jenna Kieckhaefer on behalf of Susan G. Komen of Northern and Central California.
