ST. GEORGE — When a foster care volunteer dared to shatter the limits of ordinary assistance, she discovered new ways to help Utah families.
"I have loved being a volunteer for Utah Foster Care," Jennica Woodbury, volunteer coordinator with Utah Foster Care, told St. George News. "The families that we're able to serve — it's so meaningful. They have stepped up and sacrificed a lot to help these kids."
Woodbury has been with Utah Foster Care for about a year, inspired by a close friend who fostered children to join the program. As the volunteer coordinator, she organizes babysitting services, craft events and meal arrangements.
Woodbury, a mother of four, said she always envisioned having a family of five or six children. However, when she faced challenges in getting pregnant again, she realized the family she already had was complete.
"I had a really special moment with God," she said. "I knew I didn't need to have any more kids, that they were all here, but I would continue to mother in different ways."
