Summary

Ashley Lance, Union County Department of Social Services director, asked residents to open their homes to foster children and said Union County is answering a recruitment challenge from another county.
Lance told meeting attendees, "We were challenged by Pamlico County DSS to put our boots on the ground, and we would like to challenge Gaston County and Cabarrus County DSS. But we would also like to challenge all the residents in Union County to become foster parents. We hope that you will open your hearts and your homes to foster children in Union County." Lance identified herself at the start of her remarks as the county's Department of Social Services director.
The remarks, as captured in the meeting transcript, framed the message as a public appeal and inter-county challenge rather than a request tied to a specific vote or formal action.
