Foster Grandparent Program

The Penquis CAP Foster Grandparent Program has approximately 95 Foster Grandparents serving at 63 different sites throughout its fourteen county service area. Funding for this program is provided through the Corporation for National Service, the State of Maine Bureau of Elder and Adult Services, United Way donations, fundraising efforts, and Penquis CAP. Foster Grandparents are caring people children can depend on for love, wisdom, and support. They are at least 60 years of age, and meet income guidelines. They share experience and wisdom for at least 15 hours a week in public and nonprofit settings, such as daycares, schools, Head Start Centers, and hospitals with children who need a little extra love and attention.
