Today The Truly Co. welcomes Rachal Pollard (@pollardmama93) to the show to help us learn just how to do that. Rachal is a mom of five, has been married for 29 years and is passionate about foster care and adoption. She is a foster and adoption ministry leader at her church and is an administrator for Project Belong. Her article in The Pursuit Issue titled “Setting an Extra Space at the Table” sparked our curiosity at The Truly Co. to want to know more. How can we help with this fostering crisis in America?

There are a myriad of ways to support the foster and adoptive needs in your commuity.
