Assembly Resolution No. 1350

BY: M. of A. Steck

        RECOGNIZING May 15, 2026, as Go Purple for Kids in
        Care  Day,  in  conjunction  with  the observance of
        National Foster Care Awareness Month

  WHEREAS, Together For Youth has served children and families in  our
communities  with  compassion,  commitment, and excellence for more than
140 years, providing a wide range of services,  including  foster  care;
and

  WHEREAS,  Every  child deserves to grow up in a safe, nurturing, and
loving environment,  yet  too  many  children  face  circumstances  that
prevent this ideal from being reality; and

  WHEREAS,  Foster  parents  play a vital role in ensuring the safety,
stability, and  well-being  of  children  who  have  experienced  abuse,
neglect,  or  hardship,  by caring for them with nurturance and support;
and

  WHEREAS, May is  nationally  recognized  as  Foster  Care  Awareness
Month,  and  Together  For  Youth is leading a statewide effort to raise
awareness through its "Go Purple for Kids in Care" campaign, calling  on
individuals,  organizations,  and  communities  to show their support by
wearing or displaying purple throughout the month of May and sharing the
message for the need for foster parents; and

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
recognize  May  15,  2026,  as  Go  Purple  for  Kids  in  Care  Day, in
conjunction with the observance of National Foster Care Awareness Month;
and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Together For Youth.
