"The average number of foster children The Department of Social Services (DSS) in Brunswick County was working with has increased year over year.
Because DSS investigates about 120 cases per month that number can rise at any time. There are families receiving long term in home services in an attempt to keep children from going into the foster care program. WAVES 4 K.I.D.S. serves those families too."
